Jimmy's got new skins, in the front.
Finally swapped out those tiny front tires with some with a little more meat to them.
The originals were Cooper Cobra GT 215 60R 14's. It sat the front end so low I couldn't slide my low profile jack under the front axle and I equated it's cushioning to that of a buckboard wagon in a John Wayne movie.
I was actually forced into the swap as the right front tire's steel belt must have separated causing a large hump (visible in one of the pics), this made the buckboard ride like it had square wheels.
The new tires are the same size as the rears, Cooper Cobra GT 225 70R 14's and they have nearly 2" more side wall which I hope offers some cushioning. They added nearly 2" of front end lift but the truck still maintains a lower front profile, but not as much. I can definitely live with it. Rain and other chores is delaying the test drive so hopefully it'll ride much better.
A couple pics of the tires side by side and mounted for comparison.
