    That’s why when I put the 2” leveling kit on my truck I also did 2” leaf spring blocks as well

    The most important consideration is caster angle, if you're going to do this you must ajust caster, or drop your control arm rear mounts. Not fixing caster induces high risk of death wobble.

    Thanks for the schooling on taking the proper measurements. I personally like a slightly nose high truck or dead level at the least. Got a 98 12 valve on Thuren shocks and coils💪, love them. Wish they made more component parts for the ol 12valves 😢.

  • @Deezle_Gaming
    @Deezle_Gaming 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I really wish you guys offered a shorter coil option for 2nd gens. I want softer coils and a bit of leveling in the front (1.5" would be ideal), but I believe your 2.5" coils will put it dead level and with any moderate load it's going to be squatting, and I really don't want to add any lift to the rear, the truck is already tall enough when it comes to using it for truck things.

    I added 17x9 wheels with correct offset on 35 inch toyo mt. For ride quality i chose 1/2" taller front coils, adj front track bar, rear track bar, and new shocks front and rear. 2020 pwr wagon. Ride improved, about 1/2" rake. Love it.

    Most people do not want a DEAD level truck ?? aaaa yes i do and so do most of the people i know ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, And as a follow up . I got the thuren kit with remote res foxes, added 37" Toyo AT3s. and it is day and night difference in ride . I could not be happier. There counter people are awesome and helpful . I got the front and rear track Bars. and rear foxes as well. all i think i need is the factory rear dual rate springs in the rear are stiffer than my new fronts. so i think I will upgrade. I have the 2020 power wagon and i also run airbags in the rear with the daystar cradles from Thuren. They work perfect.

    I appreciate the DROP in the rear end with a 2" front for the leveling system you showed here, the rear of these trucks are so dang tall, getting moto bikes in and out has become a chore. The last thing I want to do is to raise the rear even further. Any chance of you doing a Carli vs Thuren video to show pros and cons of the two systems?

    I actually haul heavy items in the bed of my truck like bags of cement and lumber, as well as towing a skid steer. I didn't by a 3500 to pose or jump berms. I have an ATV for that. I hate the look of a sagging rear when a truck is doing what is designed to do.
