    Pro Comp spring issues.

    What did you do with the BDS springs, a new set of bushings can be bought for 40 bucks, Procomp springs are very well know for sagging in the diesels, Stay away from the Fabtech 5.5 springs they will net you 4" installed in a diesel. dual shocks will do knothing except firm up the ride...

    new to truck suspension,looking for suggestions

    yep a spring hanger and shackle will give you the best ride and require no steering correction. and allow for a 35" tire. check out trucktoyzperformance.com or sdhqoffroad.com Dual shocks are not really needed unless you off road. and 3" dosent allow for much wheel wheel to even see them...

    Suspension lift to clear 38"s

    If money inst a option then teh Full traction coil over conversion is the best kit for the leaf sprung trucks but that kit runs 3800 and still needs coil overs for another 500-1300 bucks. Best in a leaf spring set up would be the ICON Vehical Dynamiocs (ex. Donahoe racing) there is none...

    Rear Diff Temperatures?!?

    you dont need any friction modifires with top end oils like Royal or Amsoil. unless you get chatter. the 08 cover will fit all 10.5 10.5 rears and powerstroke shop is the best deal. on them but i would recommend getting some nice stainless bolts (longer) and washers as it is thicker than the...

    I Finally Have A Website, Whatta Think?

    I was wondering if this line "If our own company transporter is headed in the direction of your move, then we can transport it on our carrier." would deter anyone from contacting you. I would think if you left it out or reworded it that you could always comment in a reply "sorry we...

    Diesel Prices and Axle Ratios

    If thats the case then thers hope sincwe ford has the option of replacing the 3.73 with a 3.55 gear ratio. and i can see them making it standard. to make the mileage NUMBERS look better.

    Tire weight ratings?

    If you look a little moer you will find more 285 or 295s in d and e ratings.. nitto,bfg,mickey,toyo, all have them,. you may want more height to run 35s or plan on modifying the valance and rubbing the wheel wells and springs.

    turbo o-rings

    it isnt that bad. i did mine 3 times.. not that they were bad but i pulled the turbo to add some upgrades, and a gain to add more and the last time to add the bellowed up pipes so i wouldnt have to ever touch the stock ones that are prone to blowing the doughnut gaskets.
