Thuren leveling kit.

[Dinky]

Ordered a leveling kit this morning all components should be here next week.
Decided to not run spacers and add to the ride quality. Hopefully all goes good And at least level my truck out a little.

Kit
Thuren +1.75in springs
Fox 2.0 shocks
Thuren high clearance active sway bar.

No my buddy emailed them 6 weeks till they get new ones. I just ordered comparable fox 2.0 that thuren recommended. Difference was a little length difference and of course damper setting. Should be a lot better but not 100% thuren

Not really sure why he quit selling the white body shocks either ugh.

Yea. Was thinking i would probly be better of just getting in line , rather than waiting for them to be back in stock haaaaa.

Lol yeah pretty much. I emailed them to see if they actually have the king damper in stock and they said right now they did but tomorrow could be different lol. They are actually only 3.5 hours from me so shipping is fast.

Yeaaaaa Kings would be way overkill for how i use my truck. Hell, i would be completely fine with his cheap white body shocks over the fox ones, but oh well.

For most it is. It's probably over kill for me as well, but a good damper keeps you on the road when towing and run across standing water in the lane. I normally have a employee or 2 in my rig so better safe than sorry.

@olyelr

My buddy just put a order in for thuren shocks. He said we will do the leveling now and switch the shocks out later no extra cost. So I will give feed back both ways lol.

Are you talking about the overland shocks? I emailed thuren a few weeks ago and they said the manufacturer couldn't make them anymore.

Yes, the overland ones he used to offer.

Well that makes sense. Darnit all.

Yep. I knew I should have ordered a set when I ordered the springs but I wanted to see how the billsteins were with their springs.

I've ran his stuff for 10 years on my '07 Ram 2500 Cummins. You'll like it.

I am actually looking forward to it a lot. I have about 1800 miles on my truck. I drive in town, freeways, off road a little and undeveloped job sites. I know how the truck feels and rides looking forward to compare the difference. I'll try and do a good write up once my thuren shocks show up.

I have the 2" Thuren kit with Fox Shocks and I added the rear shocks. Truck is perfectly level at 2". Ride quality after the install is amazing. In fact, the ride quality was so much better my wife even noticed. If you do it yourself (which I did) you'll need to make sure you have two jack stands (not harbor freight) and two floor jacks. This part is important and it is noted in the instructions. Make sure you take it to a good alignment shop, the Tire Shop/Alignment place will not do you any favors. The trucks are simple to align but you need to make sure your caster is set correctly. I made the mistake of taking mine to Tire Shop/Alignment shop, I had to go back 3 times as I felt something was off. In speaking with the person aligning the truck I figured out he was going by the alignment machine and would not do anything outside of making adjustments the machine recommended. He was trying to align the truck to stock specs. I ended up talking to a jeep guy in town and asked him where went for alignments and used his guy. Problem solved.

Typically I would install myself but my buddy ordered the parts and I'm just paying him to install and do the alignment. Did you do the thuren front active sway bar as well? I am doing that and king steering stabilizer and RC steering brace all at the same time. It will definitely feel way different when I am done.

No sway bar during my install. That is next on the list. I forgot to mention that I also bought a Fox IFP steering stabilizer. When I received the shock I opening the fill port on the shock to make sure it had zero nitrogen in it.
