[QUOTE="Bhollier, post: 1262626, member: 26220"] Some of what you have listed here is what I want to talk to the guys about. The wheel travel and such is a concern. As for my shocks we have custom mounts made to bring the shocks into the range they are designed for. I am thinking of scrapping that and going with coil overs to be done with it. As for the rear and the HP I have, I am seriously considering going with a 4 link rear. I do notice that if I really get into it there is rear hop. Would settle that and give more control. Also as you mentioned I am very cautious with having the blocks and the new leaf spring set up together. This just came up on Friday and we really haven’t discussed it in detail. I just gave the go ahead to get the leaf kit built since it has about a 4 week turn around. I have other work being done at that time so it isn’t a rush. I really don’t want to go with a bigger tire than the 37 since my tire options become more limited. I also don’t want to go with a very aggressive tire tread since my last F250 was like this and you couldn’t hear yourself think over the tire hum. In the meantime I do need to bring the truck into Dallas and have them give it a look over to see what they think. I know it seems like a mash up of parts but to be honest it handles and drives very well for a lifted truck with this much HP. Just a quick note, I don’t have the tune turned up all the way since I do use this as my daily driver. It has more than enough at 70% for what I need. When I do show it we turn it up full just for ***** and giggles. There is no way I would be riding around with it like that. I am sure it would rip the rear out in a short amount of time along with the transmission.[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 PM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] My wife appreciated your comment.
