U-bolts are the easiest to deal with, just get some larger diameter ones. I don't think there'd be an issue, and if you're worried about strength, you could always add a gusset at the drop. Make certain the spring pads are welded fully as that's where the forces will be applied.

Is this to be a dedicated winter set, or year round? Duratracs are soft compound so they'll wear fast during the warm dry seasons. I've never had a Toyo MT that small and narrow. 35x12.50-18 was that smallest I've used, then 37x13.50-18, and now 38x13.50-18. In those sizes on an almost 4 ton...

I used a pair of Viair 480 compressors with a 3 gallon tank on my previous truck. Front and rear ARBs, air horns, and quick connects front and rear. A few years ago I swapped the Viairs out with a single Air Zenith when one of the 480s went south.

Probably a brain fart typo. 4 low requires a stationary vehicle, in neutral to engage.

I hated the unpredictability of the (un)limited slip differential. Would lock up when you didn't want it to and would be open when you wanted it locked. When it blew up I installed an ARB locker, well plural since I regeared and added one to the front too. An open diff is much safer on snow and...

4.10 will have 41/10 teeth so more, but smaller for the same diameter ring. 4.11 will have 37/9 teeth which will be larger. The 4.10 is a stronger pinion.

The Sterling 10.25 and 10.5 have a VSS tone ring opposite the ring gear on the differential until 2010. In 2011 it disappeared in favour of a VSS in each hub. I can't tell you how many pulses per revolution it puts out.

I used 4 of these. Had some 1/8" thick aluminum angle left over from some curtain wall glazing which I cut and drilled. Painted black, installed lights, and wired together and added a length of 2 conductor to tap into the factory reverse wiring.

I miss the ZF6 I had in my 2004. Had a Southbend Dual Disc clutch. The only time I disliked it was in stop-n-go traffic.

Did you manage to fit the 37" spare underneath? Currently just have mine in the bed with the entire lift mechanism removed.

Remove or disconnect a link on the front and rear anti-swaybars when hitting the trails.

Having the trailer's track width the same of the towing vehicle will allow it to follow in the tracks and not need to create its own.

Every tire is susceptible to hydroplaning above 60km/h if the water is deeper than the tread. A true winter tire is going to be the best choice for the varying conditions of the Pacific Northwest. I'd use true winters if they made them in a size that works on my truck, but I'm limited to a...

Even comes with a kitchen.

One other advantage of the OUO ALAs is they allow for more axle movement due to the high misalignment rod end on the frame mount, compared to the low movement OEM bushing.

Did you finally complete the build?

I used One Up Offroad Adjustable Link Arms and Icon Radius Arm Drop Brackets. Easy to get caster perfect, as well as move the axle forward or rearward.

Looks good. I'm glad I'm not the only dummy with a white truck.

I was going to install them anyhow. Just needed a little shove.

Police made me install some flares.
