    My "Springer" Suspension is now installed. The truck is not driveable though. When lifting the truck to fit the new springs the rear brake line snapped and I have to fabricate some type of e-brake cable set-up. Stacey ordered a new brake line for a 12" lift for me and hopefully it will be long enough. Not sure what to do about the e-brake cables yet.
