While I can't find fault with Carli's systems, you can't go wrong with Icon either. Couple with additional components from One up Offroad and you'll have a wicked truck.

Flares look like Bushwacker Pocket style.

Sliding a 4 ton truck over rocks will need some serious beef to them. I went the opposite way and don't have any extras hanging down to get in the way; AMP steps.

There's quite a lot of frame flex on the Superduties, especially with 1999-2007 spring length. the longer newer length springs move a lot freer due to the axle being centered on them. Connecting the bed to the cab will either need a flexible joint between or use a 3 point bed mount like on...

37's with a 2.5" lift might not be rub free when offroad. Wheel width and backspacing will be critical to get right. I went to 7" lift to 100% eliminate any and all tire to truck contact, but that might be more extreme than you want. 4.5" would be a better height. Traction bars/blocks from One...

I'm aware that someone in marketing lumped the 1/2ton pickups into the same category as 3/4ton and 1ton. Dodge and Chevy/GM 1500, 2500 & 3500, Ford F150, F250 & F350, Toyota Tundra, Nissan Titan all together, including their SUV counterparts. Mid size includes Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier...

DK Diesel in Bellingham does excellent work.

:D That's the Van I was raised in.

The newer Rams with the 6.7L Cummins don't get nearly the same fuel economy of the older 5.9L. The manuals are considerably detuned now due to the fragile transmission. My boss had a 2003 5.9 w/ manual and now has a 2016 w/ manual. He doesn't like the new one, except the engine brake. Noticeably...

http://www.otrattw.net/home.php There even have a switch for Wench Power.

Wirsbo hePEX would be the best as it can withstand expansions due to freezing.

Pred, truck looks good. 8" BDS w/ 37s?

Full sized enough?

Cleaned it up a bit. Wash, claybar, wash, wax, buff.

Just turning the wheels will require forward or rearward movement unless hydraulic ram assist is used. If you are spending all the time on a beach, I would stay with a 12.5 to 13.5 tire.

40's? That's a whole lotta lift (12") needed, or moderate lift (7") and cut-outs if you don't want to worry about tires rubbing.

Don't run a slide in, but load it up pretty good. Rides very well on washboards. The stock shocks suck and are the main cause of the harsh ride. Just a note when using PMF parts. They can only copy parts to an extent, but can't infringe on the patents owned by OUO.

Icon dual rate 4" springs in the front. OUO ALAs to set caster. Stock leafs in the back with 5" OUO Traction Blocks and Bars. Add Ride Rite bags to aid in load capacity. Fox Performance 2.0 shocks on all corners.

You think that's a long truck? :D My buddy does Mega Cab Long Bed conversions.
