There's a purchase thread, but no what did you do today thread. Really guys?
I'll start it off. 1.5inch spacers in the rear are on today
I didn't search, fair warning. It's late.
Gotta admit, I wouldn’t want any part of that job. No thank you very much!We started replacing the convertible top. I gotta admit, I’m a little scared!

I put Bilstein leveling struts (2") on the front of my F-150, not a fun job.
It was the first time working on the truck - bigger hardware I guess. That and getting the springs on/off with my spring compressor (that ended up breaking). That's shady AF lol. Ended up taking them to a shop in town to get the springs back on the new struts. Other than that, it wasn't all that bad. I guess just the spring compressor failing on me gives me bad thoughts lol.? It’s easy as hell to do . What wasn’t fun ?
That can be scary. Hope you didn’t get hit or injured by the spring compressor breaking. Doing that job always makes me nervous. Nice when you get a good solid grip and everything torques down nice and even though. Pops right out.It was the first time working on the truck - bigger hardware I guess.

Gotcha yea the springs are kinda tiny so most spring compressors barely hang on. You gotta good point there .It was the first time working on the truck - bigger hardware I guess.
