Hellwig BigWig, Rancho's and such

OK folks! I've finally bit the bullet and since I had no rear 'anti-roll' bar (my dad, who also taught me to race, would insist it is NOT a 'sway bar' LOL) on the F350 and while I didn't find the 'sway' of the truck anything to worry too much about frankly, I decided to get that issue settled and see how the truck responded on our next trip.

I also bought a set of Rancho 9000's due to everyone's posts about them and the fact that my truck DID bounce too darn much and porpoise over small bumps at low speed entirely too much. I'm actually pretty excited about that.

Futhermore I picked up a 7" hitch extension for the front of the truck where I have the spare to push it out far enough to actually be able to lift the hood to do things like check the oil with the spare mounted (the Curt mount I had didn't allow that).

So, with luck, I'll report soon on the next adventure with these mods completed :D I think the Rancho's will be the biggest improvement but we shall see.
