HEY NOS: THE '05 F150 HAS FRONT MACPHERSON STRUTS AND YOU HAVE TO ADD STRUT MOUNT SPACER PLATES... EITHER A 2" OR 3" LIFT(CAN PUT 35" TIRES ON THEN) ......THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO LEVEL THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK SO IT DOESN'T HAVE AS MUCH RAKE. CALL ME @ 464-6000 AND I CAN TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT. -RIC

YUP, TRUXXX LEVELLING KITS ARE GOOD... SOLD MANY OF THEM, JUST FOR THE TIRE CLEARANCE ISSUES. I'M PUTTING A 3" FRONT AND 3" REAR BLOCKS ON THE BIG DODGE, JUST FOR THE TIRE CLEARANCE WHEN I PUT THE 35'S ON IN LATE FALL!!! YAHHOOO MOUNTAIN DOOOO:D

Summitric, I'll stop over on the weekend to walk you though your Camera program and how it works to reduce photo size, once that's done it's easy to attach the photos. No worries, we can get you up to speed on this.

Cheers. :) :) :)

Well thats a tough question to answer, I know exactly what equipment summitric has (canon camere etc) so I can easly guide him though it.
We did look for a free program to reduce photo sizes but I don't think we found one. Maybe I could ask TylerG to see if he has time to investigate a freeware program for IBM and clones that would work and then we could create a tutorial....your thoughts TylerG?

I definitely think we need some sort of tutorial or instruction sheet on resizing and uploading pictures to the site, maybe this is something we can work together on as I have now been elected Webpage designer for the Trailseekers as well and am going to revamp the entire site.

I downloaded the photo resize software right from the Microsoft website. It is really easy to use as an alternate instead of the software that comes with your camera. All you have to do is right click on the photo to resize it.

I think that is the same program that I suggested last fall when we had this discussion. All I can say is that it follows the KISS principle. Easy to download, instal, and use.
