What's going on here? I was waiting to get these mounted before I took the body lift off.

Lol, I know it looked cool with the 40s, but test 1/2 ton axles will like the 35s better

Oh yeah that's understandable, I'd do the same haha

Took the front body lift off today. forgot to set my parking brake and when I removed the shift rod I had a pucker moment..........lol. But it's all lowered now in front.

Looks funny with the box still lifted and the cab down. I'll hopefully get to the box sometime this weekend or next week.

I'll post some pictures tomorrow morning.

Awesome man, hard part is done! Can't wait to see!

Hey guys, long time no see! Well, I've taken off they body lift on the truck, the bed was a PITA, since they decided to weld a rear bumper in..... urrgh. I cut that off, bought a replacement for 100 bucks on amazon. The truck is finally at a great ride height!

I had purchased a whole steering upgrade kit from DOR, and it will be the last time I ever deal with them. Got the run around for over a month about how he was waiting for boxes and pieces to put together my brace......once I got to a month and a half I told him to cancel the order. Didn't get any updates on the order unless I asked, just horrible customer service.

So now, I'm looking to get a red head box and see if that helps the steering. It is 75% better with new components and an alignment, but I'm hoping a new box will really stiffen it up.

I was wondering what happened with you and your truck, glad to see its coming along still!

Really? I'm surprised to hear that about DOR, so far as I've heard they've always been good. Will have to keep your experience in mind.

Redheads are good boxes you'll be happy with it. Keep us up to date with it!

Truck is looking great!

Thanks John, yea, the red head box looks like what I'll go with. After reading all of the great reviews of DOR, I was very surprised also. Just waiting on an email correspondence with redhead as to what ratio I should get.

One thing I have noticed is a very intermittent stalling issue. I want to say it happens when I'm on a grade and either idling or slowing down, but it happens. It starts right back up. No CEL's. Anyone have an idea of what could cause this?

They should say 15:1

Does it rev up, stall out but catch itself before it dies?

This.

 

[Harleygtp]

No change in RPM when it stalls, just cuts out. Starts up and runs like nothing ever happened.

 

[Johnn123]

Hmm, I'm not to sure. Got a fuel pressure gauge?

 

[Harleygtp]

Got the redhead steering box in with a new steering shaft. Seems to have really tightened up the front end.

Good to hear, glad you're happy with the purchase!
