Wonderful example of an informative For Sale post. Great pics etc.

Reviews, where? I looked at the reviews on Costco.com and a good number of the bad reviews seem to be from people who left a bad review bc they thought the tank would be bigger - didn't realize this wasn't a full sized BBQ tank. There are a handful that have other valid complaints, but that...

I paid more too, a number of years ago.

I haven't seen this posted on here yet. Great deal compared to what other places charge for the similar sized tank. Also available at some stores. Propane Tank at Costco

Was the thermistor the problem? That corrosion doesn't look great. You might try cleaning it up with some Scotch-Brite to get rid of that corrosion and then check back on it in a few months. Is it still under warranty? Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

How long did you fight with the insurance company? I can't imagine the insurance rolling over and paying on a claim like this. Did you file suit? Did AJ admit his mistakes? Is it now a salvaged title? Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

@Metcalf My truck weight about 8900 lbs with the front being 4800 lbs. Is that gonna be too much for these?

The 05+ superduty ones look very similar to those. How tall are those? They look to be 3-4 inches, which means with 5 inches of travel you really only get the first inch or two that are pure shock. Is that an issue?

@Metcalf Do you have any particular bump stops that you would recommend? I could try and get an OEM Ford one to work. I have heard that they compress a lot, hard to believe as they seem to be very hard material.

I think it makes sense to move the mount(s) so that I have more compression. I could go to 5" of compression, which would leave me 4 1/8" of droop. Any recommendations for bump stops to use? My main confusion with bump stops and setting them correctly is that apparently some compress more...

I asked someone with the Carli 4.5 pin top measure the exposed shaft on their truck. It was 4.95 inches. I guess you can get a longer shock when you do the stem at the top vs the eye, otherwise, I am not sure how they can fit in an 11" travel shock (or does King make a more compact shock...

Pirate is mostly dead. Many users went to Irate. Dana 60 from a later model F550. Later models used 35 spline inner and outers. Or step up to Rockwells. I would stay away from older stuff. Parts are harder to find and brakes and steering components not as good as the newer stuff imho.

I think I am locked in for the moment to this shock. I would probably take too much of a hit if I try and sell them. What is the recommended method to set the bumpstop for max up travel?

@DzlToy I have never ridden in a Carli pin top system, but I have heard nothing but good things about it. I am using the same coil as the pin top and then the shocks were tuned by Accutune, so I am hoping in the end I get a similar ride / performance to the pin top.

The Carli 4.5 pin top claims an 11" travel. The Carli Dominator system claims 10.5 travel. (uses fabricated coil buckets) The Carli Unchained system claims 10.5 travel. (uses fabricated coil buckets) The shock I have is called a 10" travel shock by Fox. I am not sure if that means you create a...

For reference here is a photo of the PMF coil bucket. I even hacked up the shock mount portion to get the top mount about an inch higher. It appears to be still "far away" from where the Carli shock mount is.

I am gonna revive this thread from the dead. Maybe it will come back to life. I recently converted a 99 F350 to coils up front using an 08 axle. I used PMF buckets (wouldn't use those again - another conversation). I installed Carli 4.5 coils. The shock I have for it is a a Fox...

I am not sure if you are looking to replicate the performance of an ARB dual or not. If so, there aren't many (probably none) cheap "hi flow" compressors that come close to the performance of the ARB dual. Where do you see used ARB duals for $350? "Tank and case worth $600 plus" - your...

I believe it's 05 and later. In 05 Ford switched to coil springs in front instead of leaf springs. If you use an 05 or later axle you must switch to coil springs suspension. This entails numerous brackets, coils, springs, trac bar, radius arms and other stuff. It's a major project. Sent from...

My 99.5 only has rear abs, so i didn't spend too much time on this. You can use any unit bearing you want from 05-16. They are all physically the same, but there are some different plugs. You can move plugs/sensors from one year to another, but i don't know if the tone wheel is the same inside...
