Truck is done, except for leaf springs which hopefully come in next week

Couple of impressions:

1. Truck sits about 1.5 inches higher, part of which is the new Toyo's
2. No sway bar anymore, not even mounts for it, on the street in high speed turns it does wallow a bit
3. Turning radius is WAY increased. The new steering bumps mean your turning radius is about 20 to 25% bigger. Tight parking spots are now 3 point maneuvers. Not sure if that is adjustable
4. Speed humps, what sped humps (at 40 mph). except for the rear which doesn't count cause of the springs
5. There is a lot of shiny hardware poking out everywhere now

Real test will be in October at the raptor event

Looks awesome, What created the increase in turn radius? The bumps just reduce the amount it turns relative to stock?

It is hitting the steering bumps much sooner than stock so I lost almost 1/2 a turn each direction

Do you expect the rear to rise slightly with the corrected leaf springs?

If it doesn't level much more will you be re-aiming your headlights?

Did they have to cut the inner wheel liner to accommodate the bypass shocks?

Looks exceptional!

The rear leafs are totally flat right now so the truck is nose up, yes they should level. Not sure on resuming, I will wait and see.

No i don't believe they had to cut the liner, the mount welds in on the frame and there is just enough clearance

Thanks, yeah it looks damn good in person
