This is my 2011 F350 with both upper and lower overloads and stableloads
Ahhh! Thank you! I was gonna toss and turn worrying about springs all night. So Stableloads get installed when the truck is empty and on a jack correct? Otherwise I can't see that leaf opening up to get the hole drilled and the wedge in.
you would be correct. FYI I hear that drilling that leaf is a royal pain. I was glad to find that my 2011 came pre drilled ( my 03 which was going to get them was not)
When I worked for Lockheed in Marietta, GA I drilled holes for the C5 engine pylons (under-wing mounts). We had a $80K Quackenbush drill that would go through that unobtanium alloy in about 8 hours.
Torklift makes a jig to make it easier, but I can't see all that for four holes. They give you four drill bits in the kit - that should be a pretty strong hint right there. One guy told me to use a two-by-four to brace the drill motor. I'll just take it slow (about 200 rpm max) and easy and use lots of 30 weight motor oil.
