    HM Racing 92" Mid Travel Kit

    Well after over a year delay in getting my King custom shocks, in addition to other supply chain BS issues, My truck is going in next week for the install. For something different, instead of Steel-It paint, or powdercoating, I had my A-Arms and spindles Cerakoted in a burnt bronze color. Should...

    Live valve bypass modules

    Hey guys I have a ‘19 and just installed a pair of King 3.5” 5 tube bypass shocks in the rear. Obviously without the live valve shocks, my truck is protesting and among other things I have no drive modes. I need to get one of the electronic bypass modules to correct this. I see there are two...

    Headlight trim removal

    Hey guys - is there anything tricky about removing the headlight trim/surround pieces? Are they just installed with clips and just pull out, or are there any hidden bolts? don't want to break them while removing Thanks

    Rear Suspension Binding With Longer Shackles

    Hey guys - I have heard from a couple different sources not to run the 2" longer shackles, because it will cause binding. Yet, I would prefer to get higher arched leaf springs to allow for more droop, and therefore more travel (Using longer shocks of course) Ideally I would like to run the...

    New Bolt-On Bumper From SVC

    Hey guys is this new?? I've been looking at bolt on bumpers for the past month and definitely don't remember seeing this. Looks really good. Very similar to the ADD Pro Bolt On, except I actually like the laser cut skid plate with the vents for the intercooler better on this one.

    Performance Tune with Warranty

    I have been doing some research in an attempt to find a way to increase the performance of my truck. Ideally it would be something that wouldn't void my factory and extended warranty. With the cam phazer and other issues, I really want to keep my warranty. The DTE Powerboost Control Module and...

    Am I gonna need +2 Bedsides??

    hey guys I got a set of 8.5" zero offset wheels, and will be running 37x12.5 tires. Front will be lifted with Eibach coils for now. I already plan on +2/+2 front fenders - looks like I'll be going with ADV after talking to many people. I know I'll still need some firewall mods as well. How...

    How do bypass shocks in the rear give you more travel?

    I'm guessing it's either the stock shocks bottom out to quickly, or they top out too quickly - or maybe a little of both? Obviously a longer shock will have more shaft travel - just wondering if the bypass setup allows more droop, or if it allows more up-travel. Is there any way to get more...

    Best "Non-Tune" Tuner?

    Hey guys I just picked up a Pedal Commander due to the good reports I've heard on here. I don't want to do a regular PCM tune on my truck because I don't want issues from my dealer. I would be open to one of the "in-line" or "piggyback" tuners though. Something I can remove which leaves no...

    Weight Bias Front/Rear

    I'm trying to find out either the weight bias or the actual curb weights for the front and rear axles. I know the overall weight for a SCREW is about 5700lbs, but I need to find out the weight on each axle, as I'm shopping for a car lift for my garage. Im liking the Maxjax, which has a 6K...

    How about Amsoil 0W-40 Signature Fully Synthetic?

    Hey guys I searched the threads on oil, but most were old. I know the recommended oil is 5W-30 synthetic, But it seems like the Amsoil 0W-40 would be even better. 0 weight for better flow at start-up (gets down to low 30's/high 20's where I'm at), yet has the 40 wt for hotter temps (again...

    Light Weight Tires/Wheels

    I wanna go to 37" tires, but as others have mentioned, I think it's a good idea to keep the overall weight down to at least about what the stock 35" tire/Beadlock wheel combo runs - in the vicinity of 100 lbs. Coming from a MX background, unsprung weight is an issue with suspension and handling...
