    It's a symptom of worn out shocks.

    They make two, one is a full width, and will interfere with up travel due to contact with the frame rails. I ordered the smaller modular one that isn't as wide as the inside of the frame rails. I'm going the wrong way here !

    Nicer packaging yes, but internally you're still looking at the same size piston/shaft/nut, so I doubt they'd be stronger. I think he likely switched to get the appropriate damping profile, the Pistons in the radflo's are made specifically for the ddl kit. He mentioned that before they got the...

    380 psi. Also hydraulically limited the travel by overfilling. It was fine in testing last fall, but testing was done in an area that is primarily sand trails with big berms, g outs, and whoops. Braking into the g outs and corners can be best described as violent. It really digs in the sand...

    It had thread showing out the backside of the nut. I'd give it one more chance, but I've heard of this happening on a tundra as well. And I was just feeling it out, wasn't even getting violent with it.

    Well, it was blazing fast for about 15 minutes in the sand trails/whoops. Under hard deceleration one of the axle control shocks went bang: https://youtu.be/BvmIjaxbtmE this is what I found on disassembly: That's a fundamental design issue, there's no way to strengthen those shafts...

    Front Stock Fox vs Fox 3.0 vs Icon 3.0 vs King 3.0: Dyno Results

    Can't be done without having travel to burn. You'll just blow through what you have and bottom. Along with the long travel, you also need decent external bypasses to control all that travel while still having a plush ride zone. First step is to remove your sway bar, do bumps/deavers/mid...

    No 10" if I stay with the Ddl setup, if I get silly and decide to do a full four link this winter, then 10". Those axle torsion bumps really seem to damp any driveline shock compared to a traditional three or four link... The 37 red letters would need some healthy gearing just going by the 35...

    Bedsides won't be done until the end of next week. They're getting line x coated on Monday. I suppose stock I may have wanted more power due to having to slow down for stuff so often, but generally still traction limited. With the long travel front and leaf rear, it was limited on a safe top...

    Glassworks Fender Liner Install

    You trim them a little to fit and then use dzus fastners on the fender lip, a few sheet metal screws into the hydro formed upper rails and you're done.

    Here's some video displaying the axle torsion behaviour at full throttle. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nI4HR25sTdY&feature=youtu.be It's fun to drive, torque rolls like it means business at wide open throttle, lol ! The max pinion angle can be set by overfilling the bumps on oil, the anti...

    New SVC 4Link W/Bed

    For sure, just two of them, welded in position, was a bitch since the vertical was basically fixed due to the bolt mounts on the cage and chassis. Impressive tolerances on those tubing joints, there was a lot of swearing involved in reinstalling the cage after powdercoat. I will not be removing...

    Preach on ! It took me 6 ratchet straps, 4 c clamps and a bf hammer to get the cage back in after welding those camburg tubing joints up.

    Uh oh, what failed the "flange" ? I'm using one on each side in addition to grade 12 bolts and washers in the six factory bed mounting points.

    I haven't seen any three or four link that uses the stock rear. It can't really be trussed properly for mounting points due to the cast center section. Nor have I found anyone that has actually done an upper link for the ddl. I've spoken to giant at length about it, and have mine pretty much...

    Fox 3.0 Ride Height Adjustment Help

    The thing is to maintain the same cv angles as stock, you must lower the diff by the same distance that you raise the truck. That's a significant amount. In addition to clearance issues, now that you've moved the cv axle plane out of parallel with the lca, you will have plunge issues. The...

    Fox 3.0 Ride Height Adjustment Help

    Absolutely, but you can only go far before you start running into clearance issues with both the lca and lower crossmember. 1/2" would effect angles very little. Here's the thing though, setting a relatively short stroke shock up that high means any bypass zones are useless. You have little...

    GEN 1 Nasty pop from driver's side front wheel area in four wheel drive (still)

    Also, you can get enough wear on the iwe engagement surface on the outboard cv to do the same.

    New SVC 4Link W/Bed

    Hell yeah, 22" of linked travel is a ton more effective than the same amount of spring travel, if it were even possible. Are you bumped out on the frame with the axle tubes, or do you run out of room on the upper link mounts under the bed first ?
