I like the under hood light idear. I saved that in my memory for when I actually have a hood to mount it on. On your spring theory. I aim to test some 64" 3/4T rears in our truck and see just how well they work to improve the "hobby Horse" issue that club cab and crew cab Dodges have. It's a wheelbase deal that is largely absent in a standard cab truck. If it wasn't for this issue, I wouldn't change the rear springs in ours honestly. I feel the OEM W250 springs in my daily driver standard cab are too soft really. Then again it most likely often hauls more weight than you intend to for your project. But 1000lbs in the bed and you can feel they are soft. I wouldn't want less spring rate. Just added the above for food for thought....
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Heck I haven't got a final plan on my engine/tranny combo yet. I have all the same to do and more, plus mine didn't start with a CTD.Don, don't get me wrong. Your build has motivated a lot of what is happening here, all around.
Just giving credit where credit is due even with the DOT side notes 8)
Don where did you get those spring hangers in your picture? I just changed that TV cable on my Daily truck last week. Amazingly still available from Dodge to the tune of $120.
Glad the hubs are done.
I found it quite impossible to use the supplied spacer which for my application is .196" thick so I left it out
