    Never heard of that, maybe re-gear rear end but that's if you went with 37" tires on up

    This needs to be addressed, it will be ok on smooth roads, but will probly drive you nuts if you bomb any speed bumps or dirt roads. The coil is too short, it's the wrong coil or it's missing a spacer.

    I understand what you're saying but it's definitely a stock coil it's definitely in a bind a mechanic friend of mine told me he has had this happen with other struts before he simply put it on the car and bounce the car up and down and they went right into place it was a rice burner imagine that haha but I guess we will see . Next wed if it doesn't work out I just have to put back what I have now I guess

    Ive seen it before ( I work as a mechanic for 20+yrs) it probly won't fail, but it will start making noise. It's Apple's and orange's compared to a car, my truck suspension gets more of a workout in 2hrs offroad than my car does in 6 months

    That's awesome that you do a lot of off-roading with your truck but mine being a long bed I guess I'm just being a poser I don't care to take mine off the road LOL I love it though I love the way it looks ever since I put on this list though I've always wanted to lifted struts instead of the spacers

    A few more pics to kind of show you that it's long enough and it's in a bind for sure it's been a while though I've had them out in my garage for about and the gap between the perch is only about a quarter of an inch now compared to this picture is about 1/2 in

    He has the 2018, with all the new fancy sensors. I can't think of anything that might need to be adjusted unless there's an adaptive cruise or emergency brake/accident avoidance. Also can't find anyone that can adjust the speedometer, aside from the hypertech calibrator that you install inline.

    True. I noticed a ride difference to a bit softer over the bumps and potholes.

    Then went from 65psi, to 45 psi. Also improved.

    However, drives like a truck-truck.

    They guy at the aliment shop told me he did a 6 RC with spacers and can tell a big difference with the sturts. I would have got it back at lunch but they had to work on my tires. Didn’t know it rubbed until me and the wife backed out of the driveway.
