It shouldn't be any different from stock. You put a 2" spacer in with the spring. You add a 2" extension to the shock mount. The shocks limit the down stroke and the springs should be just as compressed or uncompressed as stock.

I have a friend who actually bought the base $39,995 Ford F150 Lightning. Deal of the century. He's got solar and wanted an off grid battery. He paid less for the F150 than he would have paid for just the 100 kwh in batteries. He calls it an off-grid battery system that came with a free truck.

Idiot liberals - Watch MSNBC and read Huffington Post and think they are the truth with no exposure to opposing view points. Idiot conservatives - Read Breitbard and watch Fox with no exposure to opposing view points. Smart liberals and conservatives read The Atlantic and National Review and...

Range isn't a big deal IFFFF 1) you can find a place to charge as easily as you can find a gas station. 2) charging took 5 - 10 minutes like it takes to fill a car. THISS is the problem. Not range. Huge range is a band aid for lack of charging infrastructure and long charge times. All of...

It looks like a flat piece of rubber or plastic cut to fit.

It's probably the transmission downshifting. An easy way to confirm this is to slip it into neutral as you begin your deceleration. Then come to a stop with it in neutral. Is the jerking gone? The cat runs at many hundreds of degrees. It can not leak water as any water in contact with it...

This works really well with limited slips, but not so well with totally open diffs. Mainly because the extra torque that is transferred to the tire with the grip that isn't spinning exactly equals the torque that the brake applied to that wheel is applying via the brakes. LSDs have a...

So you don't put a load on the parking pawl, which is not designed for that kind of stress.

Depending on the difference in price in his area, yes. Maybe. Maybe even an overland if he wants the toys in the Mojave, leather, etc. If he pays 4k more for it and lives in an area where the price of fuel is not so great and drives it for 50k miles, he probably recoups $2500 back in fuel...

You live in a magical place. https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_pri_gnd_dcus_sca_w.htm

You may be aware of the math. But others aren't. So it adds value here. Now you are talking how it all makes you FEEL. You are a unique individual. I pay for gas with my credit card and don't even look at the total. So I don't get those emotions. Financial decisions are best made...

I checked the DOE site and "West Coast, less California" its 4.36 for gas and 4.86 for diesel. So yes, that changes things hugely. Lets run some numbers. I assumed absolutely worst case for the gasser before because I didn't want the payback period to get into the 400k mile range. So now...

Was that an old JK? I ask because while the BLD is not a perfect solution, this is exactly the kind of situation where it should have helped? What year did they start with BLD? JKs go back 13 or so years. Were they launched with BLD back in 2010??(ish)

The solution is to do some math and see that the solution is to drive what he has and possibly switch up tires en the old onea are dead. The payback period for the diesel is going to be 200k miles if he has to trade it in this relatively soft market and then buy a new truck for $20k more...

Do you remember if it came back as you were slowing down?

Lets not forget folks that generally speaking a street tire is going to outperform a MT on sand. Simply because its going to ride higher. There are numerous youtube videos of people A / B ing MT vs AT and how they run over the same stretch of sand. If the OP does mainly sand and road, he's...

This is a suggestion from ShadowPapa. Remember that there are things in the logs that may not trigger a DTC I'd hook something up to it - perhaps tazer, jscan, AlfaOBD, whatever, and take it for a drive and force the issue and look at logs. There are TSBs out there about lost communication...

After happening on a couple of drives, with me recreating it multiple times each drive, it stopped happening and has not returned in 20k miles. I just found my original post. here it is, with a bit more detail. So today I had an interesting thing happen. I was driving back from the ski...

I can't fault RealTruck for anything they have done. I can fault them for not coming up with a better process for ordering things through this forum. I bought something from them and the process was smooth, but I believe it drop shipped from the manufacturer. RealTruck has a manual process...

I had this happen and reported it on this forum in another thread. In short, it happened a few times and was triggered by me flooring the throttle to pass someone at about 50 mph. Every time it happened it was cold out. I remember about 20 deg. Every time the power steering returned as I...
