Re: HOW MUCH LIFT FOR ME?
Whatever, I watch and recorded the last ESPN rock crawling championships
and something with leaf springs won it. There seemed to be no way to edit it
to make that connection in a short mpg, so it deleted for now. When you want
strength and articulation you go with leaf springs, like your F350. If you
want a good road hugging car you go with rear wheel drive, coil independent
suspension front and rear, like my '89 T-Bird.
