The steering on my truck has always been one of the things that impress me the most, even with 150k on the truck the steering was still very tight and responsive.
I am happy to report that the new setup is just as tight and responsive. I had been running a steering stabilizer and with the...
Finished up the steering install and have been driving it evrryday for about a week now.
Drives great ! I am very happy so far.

I was thinking the same thing when I opened the box... "No powdercoat....?"
Install has been a breeze so far, only had to borrow and 1-5/8" socket from work(for the pitman arm nut). Pickle fork came in handy for sure ,other wise easy does it.
Finally going back together with the upgraded steering. Parts came in quickly , I cannot say enough about my first impressions when I opened up the box.
The TC system is BEEF !! Welds are beautiful , fitment is fantastic !
The center link, pitman arm and idler arm are bare metal on arrival so I...
Don't get me wrong , I still feel the rugged terrains are the right tire for me. They are truly a great all around tire. Just before I got stuck in the heavy mud I had run a short creekbed section , It was wet and sandy with some decent sized rocks . They walked me through better than I had...
Forgot to mention how happy I am with the new OME rear leaf setup. These things flat out work !!! Major improvement over the aal leaf pack.

Went out with a local club yesterday. Wheeled on a large privately owned old farm. Had a great day. I pushed the truck harder than ever. Trying to get a better feel for its capabilities while having a plenty of help if I needed it. I had a great time. And exposed some of the trucks limitations...
So the folks over at AC seem to think I overloaded the springs. The didn't outright insist that was the case but thats pretty much the jist of our conversation.
They did give me a $50 in store credit. I was a bit disappointed but at the same time, I do understand their point of view (hard for...
Super cool build !
If you don't mind, tell Thomas his old friend Slim says hello!
Thomas is an extremely talented guy not to mention how good a guy he is !
Picked up a cool new hook for my winch cable. It works with a standard clevis setup.
It will work great with my quick release pin and clevis I made to use on the rear receiver .
Went ahead and sprung for the OME medium duty pack and the HD 1.5" shackles. I think I will go ahead and order some 1" blocks to have on hand at time of install in case it comes up a little short.
I was a little aprehensive about going with th HD leaf pack due to co-opski's comment on the ride...
So Im waiting on a call from AC
.. The lady I spoke to first said she thought they would be able to help me out, but she would have to get a tech to call me back.
I will update when I hear something.

Hey Diver how much lift did you net with that set up ? I reread your thread last night and found that you saw 1" from leaves but I missed the final height after addition of the shackles. Thanks for the input .
After a couple hours searching last night , I was coming to the conclusion that the...
Serviced the truck this week, so I decided I better rotate the tires today. I was VERY disappointed to find the reason for the recent list I had noticed in the trucks stance. AC 3 leaf , add a leaf pack is already ******t canned. Less than a year old.:violent-smiley-031:
Has anyone running AC...
Some friends and I took a three day 40 mile canoe trip last weekend. I can't begin to share how much fun was had !! We shuttled gear and vehicles each morning to keep canoe loads to a minimum (small local river, not very deep). This allowed me to sleep in the truck each night. It worked out...
Thanks !!
Thanks!!
FYI, I am OLD. I have butchered several trucks in my day. I have slowed down and become more patient with age. My truck doesn't hold a candle to most on this board but I put much thought to all my mods. I am pleased with the way my truck is evolving.
All the positive input...
