Sure hope you don't hit a pothole or a speed bump! ::)  You do and I suspect you'll jar your teeth right out of the socket. ;D

white oak.  I was thinking I should get some overload springs if I make a habit of that :)

around 660bf or so, the logs were down for a while, and the wood was stickered for a week. I didn't weigh it, but it was heavy :)

Timbren Suspension Enhancement System. 

Easy to install.  The only way to go.  I use them on my 1 ton for the ability to tow that big log trailer I have.

ok, dumb question (I have lots of those)...

anybody know what the effects are of putting a 3600lb helper on the front spring without a snowplow package?  (I have a 2004 F250SD)?

i'm not sure if I should use a 3000lb one or a 3500lb helper in the front.  (my winch and log loading method puts some serious strain on the front of my pickup sometimes.
