The more I work on getting them dialed in, the more I want one! Just too much $$$$ and the new ones are awd no low range, so you need a $35k+ conversion to get a decent travel rig.
It really depends on the truck's weight, spring rates, where the weight is carried, sway bar rate, and how/where you drive your truck. Pounding whoops all day at high speed is WAY different than driving mostly on the road or towing.
Accutune has been around a while and has to know what they are...
I can tell you first hand that those suck as well........For sure on a truck that has any weight on it. It never stopped wobbling!
Just had a client here with Accutuned 2.0's who bought a set of our custom tuned Elite 2.5's. We traded trucks driving my test route while I narrated what was...
Out of the box, the Fox 2.0's are too soft.....I had a set open today for a rebuild/revalve on a 3500HD Duramax with 30K miles on them and the fluid was black! Perfect example of a truck over 6Klb and tows 20K+? This truck should be on 2.5's minimum!
My Fox Elite 2.5's needed an oil change at...
I'm not interested in anything Falcon from what I have seen and experience with clients. Too much money for what it is and poor support. I'm liking the Fox stuff because parts are easy to get, easier to get serviced, and the price is on par?
I'm also pretty invested in tuning for the SDI...
Do you have corrosion problems in your area? How do you drive?
Mostly road or slow off road, cooler temps, under 6K most of the time.......2.0"
Towing heavy on road, faster off road, warm temps, and weight over 6K most of the time......2.5"
You may have to adjust your expectations or budget to...
Not true about rebuilding the Falcons.....I can get seal kits, oil and shims in stock, and can perform the service. Just don't expect much if any support from them on custom valving.
That said, Falcons are near the bottom of my list....Probably right above the "white rockets" (Rancho...
Congrats!
I was just in your neck of the woods on Friday picking up a new bike for the wife. Elk Glove has grown so much since I was a kid raised in Carmichael. We used to raise hell out there because the was nothing in Elk Grove......The Laguna overpass was the exit to nowhere back then......
Picked this up for the wife yesterday.....She has done the ATV, PWC, and UTV thing, but 2 wheels she never could get the hang of.
Excited to get another riding partner!
I had a client who had his Tacoma regeared at a shop in another state. The pinion seal leaked so he took it to the local dealer to get repaired....they replaced the 3rd member under warranty and called him when it was done......Doh!
Both you and the shop are in a rough spot because they were trying to do you a favor saving a few bucks.
This is precisely why I include all bearings and seals in every gear job regardless of how many miles the vehicle has on it! I replace them and assume the liability so that I can warranty...
I just don't understand why every thread has to turn into a pissing match..........
This immature behavior is exactly why I find myself checking out of the forums.........Why bother!
One person's inability to understand why something is done and why it isn't done another time....Then spewing...
You are partially correct on this....The diesel has longer bump tubes and requires less front bump extension.
I have found on diesel Rubis with a 4.75 17x8.5 wheel, 37x12.50, average shock lengths, and OE control arm lengths that you need a slight bump extension both f/r. My preference for an...
Yes they fit with no lift depending on wheel size and BS, but you need to bump so they don't contact the fenders at full stuff. That won't leave much uptravel for a smooth ride over rough terrain though.
300ah usable is A LOT of storage for a mobile camping setup. Do you know what you are planning to run on it? Energy audit?
At the same time, 300w solar is not a lot for a 300ah storage. For flat mounted panels, it would take an average of 13 hours of sunlight or 3 days to recharge a 300ah bank...
