    Thanks for all the feedback. I’ve started looking at used machines to get a higher quality as suggested yet stay on budget. I am hesitant as I don’t know what to watch out for as far as issues they may have. Are there any red flags I need to watch out for?

    Battery choice?

    thanks for the feedback everyone. I am going to look into AGM batteries and the tenders mentioned. Would I still need a tender if I plan on putting in a disconnect switch?

    Battery choice?

    Dreaming of a firm....brake pedal.

    I've got the front done and put back together. Booster, master, rotors, calipers, pads all new but hubs were in good shape so put those back together and they seem to be working fine.

    Driveway leaf springs and shock replacement or pay $600?

    Alright, so who has done a self install of leafs and shocks in their driveway? How'd it go? I'm about done with a full break job on the truck and was thinking about trying to tackle a 2'' suspension lift before bleeding the brakes. After calling around to a few shops the best price I was quoted...
