Now I have two more spares for emergencies, I hope to God I don’t ever need them!.
This was the easy side . The left front kicked my *** !

I used practically every tool in the box , not just the BFH 😂

Thanks Larry, I did the rear axle two years ago, not long after I bought it. The previous owner over loaded the garage area and bent the main leafs pretty bad. Too much weight behind the back axle 😕

That must've been a LOT of weight back there.
Why was the other side so much more difficult?

Never thought of the bed of my truck as a garage area. Mebbe that’s why I never needed new springs.

Good morning Woods. (It’s still morning here)
Not raining at this moment but has been most of the morning. Heavy snow in the mountains.

Carry on gents, hope all well.

Jack, at least I'm not on a catheter. I missed the reasoning on that one.

I spent 20 days in a hospital once, and I know it's hard to keep good spirits. I just had a small hole punched in me, nothing as bad as you're going through, just made walking difficult for a while. Have T take a photo when you take those first steps unassisted, bet you'll look happy.
