So what kind of times do you get in that American Dream for the quarter mile?

My Old Gal doesn't have Ball Joints -- It has King Pins suspension on a straight axle. You Guy's have a better ride for sure !

Local Ford Dealer has a heavy truck shop over in Chanute, KS. Dropped it off this afternoon, seems like a decent shop and have full size alignment equipment. I ordered the ball joints from Spartan, he got the loaner wrench from them so we should be good to go. Hopefully they won't have too much problem.

I'm not too excited about the IFS after paying for the ball joints and labor. Straight axle's sounding pretty good right now! Hopefully it won't need any other parts.
