Joe's truck "Sally"

Here's my 1998.5 24V 5spd. 240,000km and just completed a ~5,000km trip around northern BC and dipping into Yukon and Alaska. Has Thuren front coils, sway bar, and Fox 2.0 shocks, another brand tubular control arms, RedHead steering box, and DOR track bar. Currently figuring out a custom Chevy 64" leaf spring rear suspension swap. Has 35" Firestone MT's on 17"x9" ProComp steelies, onboard air with a 5gal tank, exhaust brake, front and rear [small] LED lights, an inverter, a Truckfridge 51qt fridge powered by a 3rd battery on a circuit breaker, and a fullsize spare holder and jerry can rack along with a bed sleeping platform in the bed. Everything has been serviced, installed, or fabricated by myself.

Nice truck,nice terrain man!
I'm trying to talk a friend with a '98.5 2500 into those Thuren coils.

The Thuren coils made a bigger difference than advertised and expected! Interestingly enough, I noticed an even bigger improvement once I replaced the factory sway bar with the Thuren one. Even on straight bumps like a speed bump, the aged and hardened stock bushings on the OEM sway bar seemed to prevent the front axle from reacting as lively as the coils wanted to allow it to. When I unhooked the stock sway bar end links, the frame bushings were so hard and tight that I couldn't for the life of me rotate the factory sway bar on the frame! The Thuren-tuned Fox shocks were a nice surprise too... the low speed compression tune provides stable cornering but the mid/high-speed compression easily soaks up abrupt bumps over 20-30km/h. That being said, even the coils would be a drastic and worthwhile improvement over stock!

And then it snowed... I swear it was 90º less than a week ago. Gotta love Utah weather :Wow1::bike_rider:

Trophy.. your Cummins is simply perfect! Ever thought of adding body-colored smooth fender flares to cover the tires a bit more?

 

[Trophycummins]

Not really my cup of tea. I've thought of throwing on factory Laramie flares, but they're expensive and most of my available truck money has been getting dumped into the suspension.

Hmmm, somebody finally put sliders on! Hopefully there's detail shots in your thread? Bolt-on vs welded?

Theyre in my thread towards the beginning. Theyre bolt on. Theyre going to get sold and im going to make something different pretty soon.

Here is my 2009 Sierra. I haven't seen much of these trucks on here so I am hoping it wasn't a bad choice. I have have had it for 3 years now and have had to do some basic repairs as its now got over 200000 kms on it,
front has a leveling kit on it nothing spectacular but it works awesome for camping so far
