My wifey's truck build

Took a quick trip to New Mexico.

First long trip with a full cab and the rear passengers had something to say about the jolting ride.
So I took advantage of the inexpensive global Ranger Wildtrak leaf packs out of England.
After they arrive and are installed I will give a trip report.

I plan on installing my global Ranger Wildtrak spring packs tomorrow. So before that happens I went out and took some base line measurements.

I will update the measurements after the install.

Install of the global leaf pack went pretty quickly. I did utilize the factory spacer on the drivers side and I installed the "+" spring on the drivers side as well.
Here are the post-install measurements after a short drive around town to settle things in.

I gained .875" on the drivers side and a full 1" on the passenger side.
I am going to order a longer center bolt and install another spacer below the drivers bottom overload spring to see if I can level it out more.

I can tell you there IS a difference in the ride quality of these springs. They are worth every penny for sure.

Here is a shot showing the distance of the factory bump stops with the global leaf pack.

And it has a little rake to its stance again.

Gave it a bath, sure cleans up nice.

Installed 1" spacers, I like it.

As our world becomes more and more disrespectful and inconsiderate.
I learned a trick from an old cowboy, they're called the a hole behind me lights.
I have a set of lights like this on every one of my vehicles that I drive, and trust me, I have had to use them many times.
Turn your brights off!

It cleans up nice!

Installed the Fox rear shocks tonight. I still have to find time to install the front coil overs and exhaust.
