I have a 00 1/2 ton chev and would really like to firm up the rear suspension. Ive heard 3/4 ton springs are the same length and size and would fit. I would assume I would need longer U-bolts for a taller spring pack.
Should have mentioned I already have an add-a-leaf which added 2" of height, which matchs my torsion bar index in the front. Where would my ride height be with 3/4 ton springs alone?
Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology. Battery powdered items will always have their place. I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!! That would be a bit loud and smokey!
That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty. Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.
As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows, you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.
I think electric items have their places, I just don't think large commercial jobs are going to be able to work well with them. Can't see a logging crew out in the woods all day changing batteries!
