    Spare tire smaller than the tires on the truck?

    With modern vehicle, you run the risk of screwing up the signals to the PCM .

    Bilstein 5165 vs 7100

    I run Fox for the simplicity of self rebuilding. I bought the needle valve tools and a nitrogen tank and few extra tools to make the work easier. I have a spare complete set of shocks and steering dampers that I can swap out as needed and then rebuild on my time as I only have the truck as my...

    What is your choice? powerstroke 6.0, powerstroke 6.4 and Ram3500

    Definitely not the 6.4PSD. If 2020 was an engine, it would be the 6.4. I had a 6.0L and it had issues too, but they could somewhat be dealt with. I prefer the Superduty to the Ram, but the older 5.9 common rail 6bt is a good engine. Destroked is an option. Find a Ford roller and swap and Cummins.

    F250 Trail Whale Adventure Build

    You can fit a 37" tire underneath if you move the wiring to the outside if the hitch frame. I have a 1/2 worn 38x13.5 underneath.

    Ford Fullsize Thread !!!!

    Gave it a full spa treatment. Winters here are pretty tough and the snow plows create iron filings that get thrown onto the pain, leaving specks of rust particles. Would also find that near railways I used to spend a day with a clay bar and detailer liquid cleaning the surface. This time I use...

    Possible long travel air bags and managable ride?

    Spring rate is a compression resistance factor. If both compression and rebound were equally affected by spring rate, then the damping would be equal as well. My rear shocks (specifically valved for my leaf sprung F350) have way softer compression damping than the very aggressive rebound...

    Possible long travel air bags and managable ride?

    Your shocks need to be valved for the air ride. The leafs rebound with high energy, and air springs even more so. Really need some heavy rebound damping to get a good ride.

    7 Way charge Line Saga

    The charge circuit is only for keeping the batteries topped up. The size of the wire and the fuse are only for low current applications. I ran into the problem with a dumping trailer that had a low battery. If I towed that trailer more often, I'd run a fused heavy gauge cable pair from the...

    Where to get custom bumper?

    Have you checked out U joint Off Road's offerings? Many of their build's have winch bumpers.

    Built FORD Tough!

    Could it be that a welded on camper tiedown bar made the frame brittle?

    Hitch mounted bike racks

    The NSBR uses an anti-rattle receiver pin. I've never had an issue with excessive movement the few times I've used my brother's, even on rough gravel roads. My brother regularly carries 4 bikes with his 4runner. The weight is pretty much vertical, not levered out as one (or more) of you are...

    Hitch mounted bike racks

    Extremely popular here is the North Shore Bike Rack https://www.northshoreracks.com/. The only downside to the design is that the racks do not work for road bikes. Options for 2, 4 or 6 bikes.

    35" or 37" tires on a DD F350 or Ram 3500

    I don't know how the ride quality of an F350 could be made worse. My ratted out 2004 F350 with a 250,000km on 7" Icon suspension rode way better than my 2016 out of the box. '16 has 7" Icon/OUO/Fox lift since 4000km and now has 64000km. Running 38" Toyo MT

    How Strict Are 4x4 Fender Coverage Laws in Canada, Oz, and Nz?

    I was pulled over and given the option for flaps or flares. Haven't had an issue with the police since. In BC

    LED Headlight Recommendation

    I speak from experience. I have HIDs for headlamps and LEDs in the fogs and markers. My LEDs will ice over and the heads stay clear. Snow in the mountains of southern BC is usually just below freezing, so tends to be stickier than interior or northern snow.
