    Are you trying to say that it's wrong to tie a rope to the handle of a pinched saw?:eek:

    Makes you wonder how many others are like that. That’s why I’ll buy my stuff in boxes rather than having some tard put it together.

    Hey, don't tell me that you've never put the left side lugs on the right side accidentally. :whistle:

    I remember that some cars back in the day ( yeah I hate that term) had left hand thread lug nuts on one side.
    I think it was a Chrysler thing ; go figure.:doh:

    I remember people snapping the left hand studs and replacing with right hand ones so often that you never knew what was what.

    Just last month I caught two young ladies(nurses) in the hospital parking lot trying to put their spare tire on backwards.
    I took it off and put it on right.
    Automakers are going to have to put “ THIS SIDE OUT” on car rims I guess….

    Being loaded heavy takes its toll on the ol springs. Replacement installed was only $950 bucks. The springs are on back order and called around everywhere, I wanted to replace both sides but due to supply chain and manufacturing issues its just not in the cards. 0921221523_Film2.jpg

    Do you have a spring shop local to you? They can often make whatever you need
    We have one local here over in Wooster...Okeys Alignment shop, give 'em a call if you can't find what you need... Okey's

    I'm in the south east so i had to go to Columbus, I normally go to smith springs. They don't make any springs but had me in and out in a couple hours. Ill remember that shop as no doubt something else will break.

    Yeah it would be a haul for you, but it is at least an option, if needed...they will pull the truck on the rack and make/replace any springs while you wait, especially if you set it up with them when making the appointment...they make custom U bolts too...also do alignments on pretty much anything...old family business in the same location for many moons.
