I totally call bull on that one

I wish it was bull. Leaf spring broke at her house when she backed the thing over a log while having a 4000lb load on 3000lb worth of springs. My compressor is on loan to a friend, hence no impact wrench, so I had to cheater bar the thing. Fortunately I still carry a good bit of muscle mass from my powerlifting days. Unfortunately my 40+ year old rotator cuffs are gravely dog meat so I am feeling it right now. Heh, she had overloaded the thing to the point that she bent one of the shackle bolts.

And if you need further detail, the springs were a standatd 25 & 1/4 in.(eye to eye) four leaf design. Supplier had the 1750 lb rated springs for approx $25 per and heavier 2500 lb springs for only a few dollars more.

Good to know you are not a Vegan. I would have asked for your man card if such were so.

And down here we call those Zoygotes Aborted Avian fetuses.

I call it meat.

This thread is too silly.
