Then you should be bottling up your super secret chigger repellent to sell along with the chiggers. I hope I didn't bring a trailer load back to the house with me.

Anyone know if the front springs on the 3rd gens are interchangeable with 2nd gen springs?

The Kore website shows their same springs fit across 2nd and 3rd gen, but I wasn't having luck finding info about OEM springs.

Well guys, had another interview this morning for a different position inside the same company. Hopefully this one works out, I'm getting tired of going to interviews already

Sounds like a Steven Wright punchline!

Sure - and 3rd Gen springs have a little larger wire diameter for the increased weight... but if you want lift springs, the CSS springs that Rowland & Rob had custom wound are nice pieces & very reasonable.

I have a set of '05 CTD coils I'm swapping out for '98 gasser coils to slam the 4WD drag truck.

Interviewing, and looking for a job, is the most stressful thing I know.

Just remember..... looking for a job IS a full time job! Max did it right, I suspect!
Go everywhere and see/talk to anyone that will give you time!
That my experience, anyway.

Nice. Saw a set of '04 snowplow package fronts in the TDR classifieds. I'll have to find out the mileage on them, but I'm guessing it's less than 220K and they are the stronger snowplow ones compared to what I have.

If that doesn't work out, then I'll look at the CSS springs. But for $50 for a pair, if it works out it's a cheap fix.

It is a full time job and luckily I did not have to go to many companies.


I have had one interview in my life and I nailed it. I researched the company to ask the right questions, I learned about the turbine, I studied my books and notes before the interview.

just little things like that.


GOOD LUCK MATT!!

Sagging front end which is pushing the axle right.

Nothing broken, just looking for an easy solution to my rubbing issue.
