after 5 1/2 years and 296k miles on the odo its time to get rid of the shortbus. I went and picked up a new ride this weekend, some of you may remember it an old TDS member used to own it. I bought jared aka Hellstroker's old truck.

its a 96 f250 ccsb with 173k miles riden on custom 4 link front and rear with bags. its one clean truck and rides much better than my 96. mods include a fresh bts trans, stage 1's, bdp fuel system, TW chip, intake and exhaust. hope to add an ic soon,.

Will those air bags let it flex vary far off road? I've never seen one with bags on the front. Looks good. Its got to ride better than with leafs.

That looks like a nice truck. I always liked the obs ccsb. But c'mon you gotta do something to it, isn't the temptation gonna be to much? I know it has been for me.

Ive put about 2000-2500 miles on the truck so far and had pretty good luck with it except i did have to shell out for a new set of tires. I went back with 315's in bfg all terrains. my biggest complaint so far is that i plugged a set of fuel filters while on vacation in CO and had to wait 4+ hrs for another set to show up. I have to thank Rocky@ Rockin S for finding the filters and getting them delivered up to me. I cannot thank him enough for helping me out when i was in a bind.

Ive got a couple things that im going to add/ change with this truck and that is a gear swap to 410's and add an IC. I spent the last week in the mtns and the 355's SUCK, i had to manually hold the truck in 2nd gear while hitting the switchback turns and i had egt problems all the damn time i hate ford for not puting an IC in these trucks. but the good thing is that i think i have everything rounded up for an IC but not sure what im going to do for gears yet. Im tired of turning 2k rpms at 80mph:doh:

Oh and the air bags ROCK for ride quality, it kicks the hell out of the old shortbus for ride quality.
