Damn you, Todd! :drool:

I have 5100's in my 2500 and I'm pretty happy with them in comparison to stock. However, 800 lbs of camper also smoothed out my ride, and I have full leafs in the rear as opposed to mid-packs. However.... I'm looking to upgrade. Is it necessary? No, which is why I haven't pulled the trigger...

My sliders mount to the pinch weld under the door. I'm not too thrilled by that. So keep an eye out for that. And since you'll ask, mine are N-Fab, but I couldn't remember that when I first posted.

Not sure if you meant to type 315/75/16 there, but those won't fit. The calipers need the 17" wheels to clear. As far as lift, I went with the Carli Starter with the Bilstein 5100's. The difference in ride is phenomenal, and I don't have the custom tuned shocks. I have 315 Bridgestone...

I have a '74 that I've owned since '89 or something like that. Alas, for most of that time it's been a secondary project which has sat in my driveway while my trucks take precedence.

Misery whip or nothing.

They have an enclosed contractor body on special for $9400, so I'd guess you're right.

No one will ride with Craig anyway.

Note that the OP is in Ontario.... and not the one in the Inland Empire. Might not find too many used Kings in the great white north. Or for that matter, anyone to valve them. But I've been wrong before!

Where were you a couple of weeks ago when I put my rental up for sale? Luckily for me, it's in escrow now. I still have the 5100's. They do not take out all of the bumps, but they're better than stock. After all, we're still driving a 3/4 ton truck. 163 just south of MCAS Miramar is pretty...

I love my Carli Starter. Absolutely worth the price. Prior to the suspension, I'd bottom out the bump stops going over speed bumps at 5 mph. After, I could hit them at around 25. Note that I had a used set of full KORE leaves installed at the same time. Many say that ride harshness in...

Where did you get the idea you need to spend that much with Carli or KORE? My Carli starter system lists out a $1375, with the 5100's. Their Bilstein 2.0 kit costs less than $3K. Don Thuren also has a Fox 2.0 setup that's quite reasonable, but I'm not sure what the price is. Just throwing a...

You rang?

Point of order. TEOTWAKI asked if they were as expensive as $300/pair. You posted the amazing low price of $150 each. ;)

The Senior Callen is Jim. I worked with him on my previous shell around 10 years ago. He's a difficult to get along with person and pretty resistant to change as is evidenced by the same exact receipts they they've used for at last 10 years. I'd swear that some of the stuff in their...

I believe Carlos is the welder who had quit when my build was being done and then came back and finished it. A little chunky with a beard?

When I had my shell built in late '08 - '09 it was the same excuse. My welder quit. I hired back an old employee to work weekends. The first guy came back. Etc. Etc. Etc. He was handling operations himself then, too. With the exception of a welder. And his uncle who came in to do the...

You might fill out your profile, so that we know what type of vehicle you're going to stick this in. Truck? RV? Trailer? SUV? Look at the wattage chart on this page. Most of what you want to run is around the 1200 watt range, so unless you intend to run it at the same time you could get a...

It was the Dodge Trucks Xtreme Glamis trip a few weeks ago. More of a younger hardcore offroad group than an ExPo group, but there are a number of members here who are in both groups. DTX DTX Glamis Video
