What amount of lift are those leaf springs?
I need similar.

not really sure to be honest, probably 5-6", here's the setup:

1" ORD body pucks

Front: 52" pro comp 13311 lift springs with a 1'" zero rate, 6" shackles
Rear: 93 F150 57" springs, DIY4X shackle flip (pushed toward the rear), 1" zero rate, 6" shackles

Nice pics! Way better place now?

Oh yeah, it's a much better place and something I've wanted for a long time. The house is a bit older but I'm on 3 acres now with attached and detached garages. Lot's of oaks on the property and consistent wildlife roaming through daily. My previous house was newer with modern amenities but it was a track home with 12-15' between the houses and lacked the freedom, space and quietness I wanted.

That sounds like a great set up! Congrats on making the move!

Coming off the trail I noticed the truck was running kind of rough and it died as I pulled up to the tow rig. After setting up the ramps and stabilizers the truck wouldn't restart and I had to winch it onto the trailer. A few weeks later I was back in town from traveling and the truck fired up like nothing was wrong. Something still isn't right with the tune and it's always had an intermittent issue starting with the occasional backfire/fireball out the exhaust that needs to be addressed.

With all the nice weather I decided to pull the truck out of hibernation and start prepping for the wheeling season. Last fall I had an issue coming off the trail when it started to run like crap and died at the trailer. I noticed a check engine light was illuminated so I pulled the codes.

Popped the hood and found the wiring to the camshaft sensor had fell off and the plug wedged itself between the water pump and water pump pulley.

I pulled the loom back, checked the wires and re-wrapped it all. Runs great now.

Did you secure it better now?

Did you secure it better now?

I added a zip tie to the cable so it stays away from the belt if it falls off again. The plug feels tight & secure so I'm not sure WTF happened.
