New suspension parts ordered

I have ordered new HD coil springs for the front end and airbags for the rear of my truck. The rear springs have been getting saggier by the day and the front springs are not doing so hot either. My tires have started to wear on the inside edges and the steering is funky because the camber has gone south due to shot coils in the front and the right coil is almost gone.

I will see how this helps mileage. I just installed new u-joints(the last pair made it about 5 months). I am going to put in new spark plugs in the morning, which I have side gapped to .04". I picked up a new thermostat today because the temp gauge is sitting just a hair south of the normal range.

I think there is a leak on top of the fuel tank because the outside of the tank looked wet. I will have to investigate that. The mileage seems to be better with the new o2 sensor, but no numbers just yet.
