Id like to voice my opinion of this spacer kit. I was traveling down Ol' Fancy Gap on 81 pulling a 40ft gooseneck trailer with one spectacular load. We had this baby loaded squatting the tires like a drunk woman in the woods when things started to go south. The wife starts to notice a shimmy and i dont think much of it, figure it might be the load or even a tire weight. Round the first curve there in the Gap when all of a sudden the front of the truck is bouncing like a basketball. Scared half to death, i immediately flip on the exhaust brake and jam the clutch trying to return to 6th gear. Ive found that on steep grades that putting it in neutral saves fuel mileage. I know what some of you are thinking, but try it sometime. As we are bouncing the wife is flipping out, all i can recall from this trip is hearing "we're gunna die" Anyways, as we are coasting down 81 like maniacs...i quickly jam on the brake pedal, when it snapped off like a twig. Darn Adjustable Pedals. Well I managed to get it stopped at the Route 7 exit, without going into the runaway ramps. My nephew and i were thinking that we could Tig-weld a piece of 3" angle iron onto the pedal linkage for a make shift pedal. Any ideas? I dont recall seeing in the warranty packet anything about breaking the pedals off because the truck was bouncing like a spaulding basketball. Anyone have a set of non adjustable pedals that wants to trade? or sell

Got to be an April fools joke

NOBODY in their right mind would let them selves be shoved down a mountain, out of gear and out of control on purpose

Saying things like that put you on the Darwin short list.

So how was this bouncing basketball problem related to the spacer?

Also, do you spend your extra fuel money on brakepads?

You know, I go into this day every year, telling myself, "be prepared for all those Apri Fool's jokes. Don't be a fool." Well, 1BadBrockway, you got me. For a moment I had this sinking feeling...why did I order the adjustable pedals (don't even have the truck yet).

Good one

Fish....... Line......... & Sinker.

Used the spacer "bouncing like a basketball" quote because of the complaints about trucks that have had vibration, looseness after spacer install etc.

Enjoy

I was directed to this thread from another and while reading 1BadBrockway's post, I thought "Oh crap!" At first, I didn't want the adjustable pedals and then, at the last minute, I decided to order them. What the heck did I do? 1BadBrockway, you are bad, bad, bad!
