Weather has been nasty all day but I managed to put about 150 miles on the swap so far got up to about 95 on the highway and down some snowy dirt roads. Feels great! But I think I need a stiffer spring because it settled more and I had to preload it to keep the front up and I would like to go a little more but the spring needs to be stiffer.

Problem is we have 60-70* days with 10-15mph north east winds at the ocean front so it feels like upper 40s lower 50s most days except for the hour or two about 3 pm when the wind dies down for a bit.....can be really deceiving!!!

Oh yeah I hate wind out on the flight line here we often see 35-50mph winds. being up on the back bone of the jet in winds like that is not fun especially when its cold! I just want 95* wiith burning hot sun! I miss the south! Heck I would even go back to Qatar just for the weather haha.


Somthing I noticed was that I have to preload the driver side almost an extra half an inch maybe a little more to even both sides out. Guess its just that chevy lean haha
