Thuren Level Kit Setup

[mtu1293]

Lol, see that's my dilemma from what you two just mentioned. I would love the ride comfort, but it is mentioned about if you tow more then 8k or heavy bed loads, for longer durations they suggest supplemental weight handling devices.

We do tow a travel trailer, and I do load the bed to around 3k numerous times (40 mile trips). So still debating spacer vs coil replacement for rear.

I will be putting a Thuren level kit with 2.75 in front and the 1'' coils in the back with front fox shocks and rear bilsten shocks, I had a good price for a Carli track bar so I will use that. Now without the lift kit

Anyone use the 1" rear lift coils yet? Didn't notice them mentioned in this thread.

LOVE the rear! Done 5 installs on my buddies trucks.

I'm like a little kid on Christmas morning I tell ya. Gonna sit in my yard and drink beer looking at this thing for the rest of the night.

There was another member on the forum that peaked my interest in black outs for the hood vents. I went ahead and did them today too. Love the look.

How are you liking those Overland rear shocks? Are you running them on the front too?

Time to revive the thread! Ordered Front coils and track bar yesterday. 2" Thuren leveling coils. Also purchased 2 New Front Bilstein shocks 24-185776. Going to install hopefully in the next couple of weeks. Before Photo.

Looks sweet how was the install? My thuren coils and trac bar are sitting in the basement. Might attempt the install Tuesday. I have never done it before. Also what front hubs are u running?

Looks great man. I'm very interested to hear how you like the Dynatrac hub conversion? Benefits of the conversion? MPG?
I also see you installed the Thuren sway bar links.
Also what steering box brace do you have?

I decided to install the Dynatrac because It is free spin and serviceable bearings. Haven't noticed a big increase in MPG maybe 1 or so. Wanted to have a stronger end link with the setup and also are serviceable and grease zerk's. Purchased the Rough Country bar. Good quality and price. Most likely am going to install their rear links soon.

Awesome. What year is your truck? What's that Dynatrac kit running now for our trucks? I know they aren't cheap but hey the cost of a couple unit bearings is probably half the cost.

My truck is a 2016. Kits run about 2200 with the Dynatrac hubs. I also replaced the steering stabilizer earlier with the Thuren one.

How do you like the Thuren stabilizer? Noticeable difference?

What's the install process on the thuren springs and trac bar? Idk whether or not to do mine myself or not.

I used two floor jacks for either side of the axle. Two sets of jack stands one for the frame rails and a set for the front frame drop stubs. plenty of good info here to help. pretty straight forward just lowering the axle to get the springs out. Track Bar removes easily. Need to check and make sure you have the proper wrench sizes and torque wrench. The steering stabilizer is a nice improvement as far as dampening impacts and steering wheel jerking .
