Howdy all, Finally wrapping up this project. Well I was able to get my rocker switch setup to function but it was pretty hokey and not very clean. Also, I was becoming less excited about the electric disconnect system after reading about so many failures, it’s a matter of time. So I decided...

It fits. I used to have the stock 3rd gen steering box with and aftermarket brace, it probably would have interfered with that brace. But I switched to the 6 bolt box a few years back and ditched the brace so it’s all clear now. Hopefully this afternoon I can spend sometime working on it. -Chris

I don’t have the thuren swaybar, Im still running the oem swaybar with some end links I built that have removable pins. I disconnect it most of the time but when I have several thousand pounds in the bed I like it hooked up. Thats also part of the reason I didnt do the thuren bar. -Chris

Is that 2” stock that runs the length from the hitch, with 1.5” for the rest? Whats the width inside wheel wells? 3k axle? I’m looking to build a smaller utility type trailer for hauling boats and bikes when the pickup bed is full. Thanks Chris

Did the EVO bolt straight in? I got the switch I ordered by I’m leaning towards the keep it simple method of just using that evo settup. Thanks Chris

Did your oem motor die or did you just want more control of when it was locked? How often do you disconnect it? I live out in the country and there will be weeks that I don’t drive on a freeway, so if I’m not hauling heavy loads I leave it disconnected. That air actuator looks slick, I already...

The motor has a threaded shaft which pushes an assembly up and presses the pin out. The electro-magnet then powers up and keeps the threaded portion extended. There isn’t any limit switch or sensor inside the swaybar body, I believe the time/distance the motor travels is dictated by the circuit...

Howdy all, Ever since I got my 06 cummins ram over ten years ago I've been lusting after a anti-sway bar that could be set free. I'm currently running a Carli/Thuren/King love fest of suspension goodness. When I put my thuren coils on it(probably 8 years ago) I made my own end links that had...

Very cool start. Sounds like your scoring some goodl materials off craigslist. Much better luck(skill) than I ever have! Looks like you had some 2" square underneath the flatbed during the layout/welding phase. Did that get eliminated when you bolted it down? What are you planning for the...

Looks pretty rad. How noticeable is the ride height difference and ride quality when cruising the interstate at 75 or making tight turns? -Chris

I'd be really interested to hear your first hand comparison between the two platforms once you've got a few miles on the Fuso. -Chris

You can just replace the bags, but with that many miles the brackets probably show some wear also. My firestones never lasted that long before I, or road trash, shredded them. -Chris

I've been wanting to stop by their shop when I'm in town for sometime, but I have yet to do it. How much higher will the 'flatbed' be compared to stock? -Chris

I really like my Thuren coils and kings, I assume you found'ed pretty nice also. Are you running a swaybar? -Chris

Very true! I’ve bent that lip back on two front covers back myself. Fortunately they all resulted in little leaks I discovered before they got real bad. Carli has an option available for purchase if you don’t want to build one. -Chris

I rebuild and valve Kings. I usually buy the rebuild kits from kartek for about 20-25 per shock and I have a small nitro tank for filling. Takes maybe 30 minutes a shock once they are out of the vehicle(depending on how clean you want the exteriors). Thats replacing all the seals, fresh oil and...

Whats the back door look like? Looks huge from the bits I can see. Chris

What size aluminum stock did you use for the flatbed? Congrats on the A frame, hopefully that doesn’t distract from the camper too much. -Chris

Thats the exact reason I sought out a 06 when I bought mine in 2009. I didnt want the dpf issues. Im looking for a 4500 now, Id sure like a low mileage 5.9. Perhaps I should look internationally! But that brings other issues. Chris

Howdy, Not sure I follow your question, but in the US trucks starting from 2007.5 had the 6.7 with dpf. -Chris Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
