    F350 Suspension Setup for near GVWR Adventures

    If you go with a taller block, look at One Up Offroad traction blocks and 3/4" U-bolts. Control axle wrap. Add air bags to deal with loaded sag.

    Braided Air Line for Compressor options

    I'd only worry about the section between the compressor and the tank being heat resistant braided stainless. The compressed air will get hot. From the tank to a fitting, the reduction of pressure will cool. Use the black airline hose for truck airbrakes and either push-to-connect or brass...

    Long-term Feedback request: Daystar Airbag Cradles

    Had them on my previous truck for many years. When I sold it I kept the Daystar cradles. When I installed air bags on the current truck, I just bolted the bags on because I couldn't find the cradles and needed the bags for relocating a large-ish load 1000km one way. I recently found the cradles...

    Eibach Pro-Truck System

    This would never be a sole criteria I would base a purchase on. Government departments are not known for making prudent fiscal decisions.

    Eibach Pro-Truck System

    The shocks look like basic Bilsteins, just rebranded. Probably a partnership they have. I like the ability to rebuild my shocks. They will wear out and leak eventually. $10 seal kits and a few bucks in oil pay off in a few years.

    Excursion Steering after Axle Swap

    I've had clapped out u-joints in the axle cause some weird handling. Also consider, the frames for the coil spring superdutys were beefed up for the coil spring mounting. There have been incidents of the frame cracking when converting to the 05+ axles without addressing the frame.

    Wheel Offset...is there an acceptable range for the 2017-2020 F250?!!!

    With Backspace, the distance from the mounting face to the rim lip is always consistent regardless of rim width. Offset was previously used for cars (primarily asian imports) when the rim widths didn't vary much and a wider or narrower track was attained by varying the offset. A decade ago it...

    Wheel Offset...is there an acceptable range for the 2017-2020 F250?!!!

    There is no acceptable range for offset. The vehicle you are asking about is a truck, therefor use backspace.

    Build Thread- 2003 Red Cross ERV- Rambolance

    For the bumper, I'd bolt a black plate over the branding. Would allow a mounting area for some driving lamps.

    Do it yourself rack

    My brother made a roof rack with those extrusion bars for his 4runner. Pretty bomber stuff, but it's dependent on the mounting brackets.

    Hodakaguy's 4x4 Sprinter Build

    I would guess the slider door uses a contact connector to bring the signals to the speaker, door lock and door ajar sensor?

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Get some One Up Offroad Adjustable Link Arms (OUO ALAs) and move the axle forward. Also had the adjustment to set the caster to 5 degrees, which is the ideal value for lift Super Duties.

    Why NOT use the stock spare tire location on a pickup truck?

    My previous truck I kept a 37" in the bed because the dual exit exhaust wouldn't allow for it underneath. Current truck I have a 1/2 worn 38" underneath. It does hang down lower than the stock, but the truck also sits considerably higher.
