    I have no options but to do both, my truck was a special order glider apparently, my local KW dealer where @Humblepie dropped that engine off ssys they are now obsolete. Not even made in the aftermarket version. The spring pack that replaces it has thicker leaves and is a heavier setup. Not sure how many miles are on my bucket of bolts, so doing both sides is just good insurance. I ordered new pins / bushings, springs, & new Ubolts, along with other things I’ve done, truck will be like new at some point :rolleyes::D. These springs will make a complete suspension overhaul, all drums / brake shoes/ camshafts/ slack adjusters/ brake chambers/ pinion seals/ Ujoints/steering box/ Ujoints in steering shaft/5th wheel, are all new in last 2 yrs lol.

    We try lol. We have quite a bit of mowing actually, I bought a new Cub Cadet with a 54” deck about 9 yrs ago, I noticed it’s turning 700 hours now. I have a 5 foot finish mower I need to finish too, I’ve put all new bearings / seals in the mandrels and a new pulley.

    Since I’m in limbo I worked on the Jeep last night. Still mocking it up making sure things line up and pre Drilling any needed holes before final body work. Adding power brakes to make it user friendly for my wife and father in law. Her parents had personalized plates for their vehicles, I will put her dads plate on the front bumper.
    Picked up the new shoes yesterday too......

    The weeping mulberry is one of my favorites. Keeping up with lawn equipment is an on going process. They just don’t make equipment to last anymore even commercial grade
