Sorry, still no updates.... lots of work to catch up on. Yes, I have the ARB, no issues at all.

Nothing report at this time... should make some good progress this week, though.

Check the load rating, many D rated tires have more than enough capacity to run under large trucks. The D rated 37" Yokohama tires I run can support 3525lbs @ 50psi each.

Skeptical works for me. Frame is welded, short bed mock up.

I run them on my 08 Tundra... w/o a doubt a super high quality wheel. Materials, design, casting... extraodinary!

The KDSS is the key to this, I'm anxious to try it out. The rear bar needs adapting to work with the IRS, shouldn't be too hard.

:sombrero: The rear suspension is not a front system, it a 3 arm per side multi link from the Sequoia.... it's like a giant long travel sports car suspension. I did consider RWS, but have enough on my plate with the current design.

Sorry, it is becoming a 10.5" IRS diff.

Where to start? Well, BTDT with solid axle swaps and oe solid axle rigs, still own two.... love em'. Independent suspension has always intrigued me, though. The problem with oe independent suspension has always been designs that have short travel, swaybars for good handling, and thus limited...

The gears are awesome... shame to pull the rear set so soon after initial install, but this set up needs a custom built diff.

Huh, do something that seems a little unorthodox and it becomes not nice in a hurry. Body mounted sliders have been around for a long time, but they are not the end all be all. Just a good way to protect things when frame mount won't work or unibody conditions exist. There is plenty of structure...

King Shocks are my vote. Their quality is outstanding, and they don't limit you to their off shelf the kits.... They will build you whatever you want.

Good example on a Jeep.... http://www.wranglerforum.com/f123/poison-spyder-brawler-rockers-68645.html

We can agree to disagree..... My thoughts and experiences..... Body mounted sliders work well when designed properly because for the most part they spread the load over a large area that is directly above them. There is much more structure in there than the thin metal gauge would suggest...

Sliders can be mounted to the body, ideally when doing this, they should be tied into the body mounts. I will be building the sliders for my Tundra this way... they offer more clearance than the traditional frame mount.

Sure, anything can fail, and it's always good to be cautious... but it's nice that it does it for you... the programing is great. When one wants full manual control, drop it into the sport gate and choose. It's still all electronics, though.

Might I suggest you have a look at the Toyota Tundra? It's based on Toyota's HD Land Cruiser, thus chassis component size is much larger than normal 1/2 ton trucks. Much of it is 3/4 ton in size, bearings, brakes, axle, tierods etc. Don't let the low numbers fool you, Toyota is conservative with...

Folks often don't recognize the advantages of an overly long wheelbase. :ylsmoke:

The front suspensions are pretty much same between the Tundra and LC. The Land Cruiser uses shorter A-arms, and in stock form uses longer softer springs. The shocks are the same length. The OME Springs are specific to the Tundra, though I suspect the lower rate LC spring might fit the Tundra OME...
