    Help swapping back to stock suspension

    My 06 F350 King Ranch had two 4 inch blocks stacked in the rear with the stock blocks removed when I purchased it. It had a 3 inch spacer along with aftermarket coils in the front. I am unsure of how much lift the aftermarket coils have. Picture of how it currently sits attached. Shortly after...

    I started looking at my seat a bit more and realized the sides and rear are more of the satin look I was going for while the actual sitting area was really glossy. It is a water based dye so I started thinking I must have not prepped those more soiled areas enough and the oils are rejecting the...

    Yea it can make it rather difficult. I turned our 1000 sq ft garage into my shop. Wife's car stays outside now. Lol. The truck is too tall to fit, but I can take seats and such in there.

    What they advise is you keep cleaning and testing. It is a water-based dye. If a drop of water is absorbed that spot is ready for dye. If it beads up there is still a lot of oil in the leather that needs removed.

    You get rid of a lot of the black stains first. I cleaned mine real good with soap and water. They give you a prep agent called Tri-clean. Smelled a lot like ammonia. They recommend sanding with 600 grit sandpaper. I would use 800 or 1000. I almost went through in one spot. Mine took two coats...

    That is the downside to dying them and part of the reason I think two coats is better. Three coats makes them look too new and with the cracks and imperfections it just doesn't look right. I think more of a rustic look is better. I used a foam brush the first time, but I'm going to try...

    It doesn't really hide them since it's a dye. I sanded down the smaller cracks. The bigger cracks I left because I was worried I would sand through the leather. They sell crack filler for the bigger cracks. Also if you look at the before pics the far right bottom cover seat panel had been...

    Classic Dye Products King Ranch Aniline Dye Kit. Link below. Their customer service and technical departments are awesome. That was 2 coats in the picture. I put a third coat on and now it looks a little too much like paint. Going to sand it down some and only use 2 coats on the rest of the...

    Opinions wanted... keep chrome bumpers or paint black

    If you're interested I will buy your chrome front bumper. I'm compiling parts to do a 08-10 front end swap.
