My diesel gets no more than 15mpg. So good luck with that.

Who repairs a fleet engine though? Longblock. Entire trans. Entire axles. No matter how mundane the repair is. And then the fleet bean counters complain about failures, when that major component, was fine, just needed a wee little part. If I need more flex, at the expense of cargo...

Not sure if air shocks apply well to fullsize trucks. Fine for buggies. I've never seen one small enough for a truck, except for bicycle shocks. The desert and gravel stuff, is why I'm switching to Sumo's for my next build.

I'm only going to remove them if I don't need them for months. Depending on the model, some are just a few minutes. Even my Airlift bags were easy to disconnect with a simple ratcheting box wrench. I would undo one side for wheeling at the same time as the front swaybar. Poor mans spring cups.

Too tight for me. And I'd avoid the fullsizes with a center console. The center jumpseat is priceless for a small kid, or to punish the one that couldn't sit still in the rear of the crew cab.

Just some steel plate, to shim up the Sumo's. I wonder about getting them in the sweet spot where there's a slight gap at ride height, unloaded. If I shim them up too high, could they limit up travel too much? I doubt it, I think they would get torn up by the axle in that case, not the...

You sound like ''camping''. Flying down the hwy as fast as possible to spend a week in one or two spots. You're Jeep used to be the perfect ride for my overlanding. No highway. Zero. Nada. I point my truck SE down a dirt road and hit a campsite eventually. Lifted Jeeps that are...

Full Deavers for an F250. I'll be adding an adjustable aftermarket bar to the rear. Hellwig I think.

I plan on compromising. The steel leaf springs should be almost enough to carry all of your load, then level things off with bags. Bags are a bandaid. Just a helper. Not a complete solution. Your steels need to get you 90% of the way there. The Rebels can be spaced up or down for...

Check out Sumo Rebel springs before air bags. Don't need to be long travel, because they simply split in half.

BDS has a 4" gas spring kit. Add some Kings and full Deavers and it'll do everything the Carli does. You just have to do a little more homework to get there. You can always go coil overs up front, if you want a larger selection for cheap springs to pick from. In case you're wondering...

Racing trucks? That's cute.

Don't know anybody with one. Supposed to be same as 6.2. If you have enough weight, IME, they flex fine. Coil springs are dirt cheap if you want to soften the front more, Deaver the rear. I'm still running plow springs without issue.

It's got to be firmer than a Power Wagon. Depends how much weight you add. How it stacks, depends on our uses. They obviously have different goals in mind. I'll be test driving each soon, possibly. Have to decide, hardside camper, rtt, or tt.

I only record hwy mileage. Say a full tank on a vacation trip with no stops. I got 15 easy at 77mph, last week. Sometimes 17 if I take my time a little. I'd expect at least another 1mpg for a lighter 150. That's a lot of engine for a 150. I thought a properly geared 4.6 was plenty.

Still leaning 2500/250+ to get a locker friendly rear axle and marginally stronger tie rod options. 14 bolt rear in GM 2500's IIRC. We've never killed one at work.

A local nimby ratted on you. He was looking for any excuse to detain or f your day up. I suggest you do whatever you did, with a couple other jeeps, over and over again. Until the rangers give up trying to harass people for doing nothing wrong. This technique has worked well for us in...

Cool. That camper is cake to haul.

Open the windows. Get a $$$ warmer $$$ sleeping bag.

Brand new they're $52,000. So $30k for a used 6.0 or a 6.4, doesn't sound like a good deal to me. Less if you go gas 7.3l instead, about $41k. https://www.donleyfordashland.net/new/Ford/2020-Ford-F-350-Ashland-Ohio-2a41819d0a0e0a6b6520e3df594f78fe.htm?searchDepth=4:20 Bulletproof 6.0...
