Nice! I’m considering that setup too. Did it all fit together pretty good? Write an update once you’ve used them for a bit please.

Everything fit fine, it is a nice setup and the coating on the rotors is awesome.

Everything feels great and the pads grab nicely! I couldn't be happier.

The stock rotors were VERY fused to the hub though, I used a nut/bolt through the caliper mounting hole to press them off. A sledgehammer and a torch didn't touch them.

I haven't driven the truck yet it was only a 10 mile trip to home, But I will be trying it this week and give some feedback. I was running a 20 inch onx bar which covered the whole surface area of the inter cooler vent plus having an overheat problem so I am trying to sort it out the best way I can. My Full Race radiator is shipped and I ll be receiving it soon, lets see if that sorts my problem ,if not I will be going with the CVF IC and the game never ends!!!!
I attached some before and after picture to see the difference.

if you need maximum air flow, you could use thos brackets and put the light bar on the same hoops that you have those LPs.

it shouldn't block much, if any airflow at all, if you do it.


I still need to figure out which spal fans will work on my truck. I've been avoiding switching to LP6s on it due to airflow, but maybe one the LP4s come out, I'll see if they are worth the upgrade.

Eek! I’ve only got about 9,000 miles, and the truck hasn’t seen rain or mud yet, so hopefully I won’t have that to deal with...

Well, I live in a rural area with lots of snow, 55k miles on the truck, and the wheels have been submerged.

If you did the install yourself, How long did it take to install the suspension upgrade?

for the front i’d say 2 hours per side and the rears an hour each. That’s being generous with time and going slow. The rears are really simple though.

Let us know how it rides compared to factory

The real test for me will be when I can get it off road. So far, the on road characteristics are excellent. I would describe as smoother and more planted than stock.

I normally do my own mods when possible, but had a local and trusted shop take care of this one. For the full front and rear 3.0 install they charged me 3 hours of labor @ $98 an hour plus another $150 for an alignment.
