Just to throw some gas on the fire here, the Hummer Racing H2s and H3s all ran the whole SCORE series on stock components (minus shocks) to win multiple races and points titles in its days. Those components weren’t swapped every race either. So while yes I agree stock isn’t the best for overall...
Wait, so you still have stock shocks in the rear? Or RC shocks in the rear? That would definitely contribute to a rougher ride if the shocks are fighting each other.

Did you over tighten the upper control arm bolts, thus binding the UCA? Everything I've read about the Kings in this application, is a great improvement in ride.
Very nice truck! SB Chevy's are my favorite. I wish I could find a clean one like that around here.
BTW, the Dirt Every Day guys just took a stock K20 like yours through the Rubicon with only a Warn winch as a modification (and some body damage).
I don't have first hand experience with any of this but one thing that I thought about was my intention for being outdoors affected what route I want to take in my family camp setup. At first I wanted a RTT, but then realized that my ultimate goal for camping is to do off-road driving/trail...
Yeah these are good rigs, and designed to carry a lot of gear and armor plate.
Truck's running great but unfortunately I'm going to sell it. I just couldn't get the mileage much higher than 13 mpg which wasn't going to work for me long term. Since the monthly fuel costs were going to kill me...
The Cummins R2.8 does not come with everything you need to swap it in. You’ll need to provide your own cooling and inter cooling solutions though they do offer affordable recommendations like using an inter cooler from a pt cruiser. The most expensive piece is the adapters needed to mate it to...
Really in the grand scheme no one should expect to buy a new vehicle and get exactly what they paid for it after a few years. Especially over even longer spans. Technology just changes too fast. My 2011 GMC Sierra is a pos when I compare it to my 2018 ZR2.
Buy what you like and can afford. If...
Never really been a "hater" of this project. The only thing I questioned in my mind was using those coil-overs for a "heavy" truck like this. Not that they couldn't work, just more how long they would last. And the upper shock mount not really being built to support the whole vehicle. But what...
Not sure if you've used a typical horizontal style bender (I assume you have), do you think there are any advantages to a vertical model like the rogue or others you can fab yourself?
I just bought a radiator for my 2500 as well and as you said it is thinner. I believe this is due to better cooling design methods so they could minimize material cost and weight. I don't doubt the cooling ability considering I believe they used this design on the gmt900 hd gas trucks as well...
You'd have to change the bracketry anyways to fit the stock compressor (since it mounts low and interferes with the frame rail) I think it would be easier in the long run to use a vintage air system. That's just my vote.
