Keep the heavy stuff low. You'll be good.

I put them below the clip. I did it by myself with the leaf still on the truck. It's a pain but with some clamps it worked out. Keep in mind you'll probably need to get a longer bolt for a center pin. We only had that set up for around 25-30k miles. We originally just had the icons and when...

On our Tundra I ran I the factory leafs with a Icon 3 leaf AAL and the OME AAL. I did remove the factory overload. https://store.arbusa.com/leaf-spring-extra-leaf-d28xl/ On a Tacoma we had aftermarket HD leaf springs that weren't HD enough to hold our 375lbs Flippac. I threw an OME AAL in...

It's been several years but I have used things like that before. They really made the ride harsh in my opinion. I also feel like they wore out the other leaf springs faster. On two separate trucks now I opted to buy the Old Man Emu add a leaf and use them on non OME spring packs. I've had good...

I almost bought Apex steering stuff for our truck in July. Quite a few people on the forums had issues with them on Super Duties so I passed. It did sound like they had a good warranty on their products. It's also my understanding they did a redesign and they're different now but I could be wrong.

The XP V1 trucks all seem to be well over GVWR. Seems like a lot of them are pushing 13k. If you really want a xp this is probably the cheapest you're going to get one assuming it doesn't have a reserve. If you don't like the diesel truck, you could buy a 6.2 F350 and probably probably come...

The block acts as a leave. Swapping out the leafs definitely reduce axle wrap on our truck. Traction is noticable better. That being said it was probably a combination of getting rid of the block and going from four leafs to 11. In my opinion it wasn't that big of an issue. Where I've seen it...

Yes. I ran my fox 2.5 for 3 years before I could justify the Alcans. That being said, if I had to do it over I would buy the Alcans first. They manage loads so much better than the factory leafs.

They are approximately .75" longer. It won't bottom out, but supposedly there's a risk of the axle drooping far enough to unseat the coil. Having installed and run them on a stock truck I don't think you could drop the coil without removing the sway bar. Even then I'm skeptical. They were...

You can get front lift with a factory F350 spring. Swap for Tremor springs. Tremor springs will lift the truck almost as much as Carli.

Have you laid under the truck and grabbed on to the steering components to see if anything would move? If the track bar was most recent work in may to be torqued again.

Did they look at GVWR or GAWR? My limited experience with commercial vehicles is they only check axle ratings and GCW.

A lot of vehicles are overloaded. Many vehicles are probably fine going over GVWR but it's a guessing game. I drove overloaded Toyotas on and off for 20 years. You can modify them to carry the weight. They'll go through brakes faster. I got tired of modifying Toyotas and bought a F250...

You got the Logiq dual bag set up? They are more expensive than my Alcans! I didn't even consider them given my experience with Ride Rites and Daystar cradles. Sounds like Logiq are a solid improvement.
