Really enjoying my 3.5" Overland+ lift! (On 37x12.5 KO2s)
How are you liking the falcon shocks? I keep seeing mixed reviews on them. I currently have Fox 2.0s and are a lil soft for my liking. Truck looks good! I have the 2.5in overland.

Thanks! I have only had the Falcons on for less than two months, so I am still playing around with what setting I like best for riding around town. Off-road, so far they are great, but I really havent had a chance to fully test them out yet. Havent done any long stretches of washboard roads, and only intermediate trails so far. (Much planned for this summer though)
I have zero complaints about ride quality, in fact, the ride is great. I think they pair very well with the Clayton Overland+ lift. If you think the Fox 2.0s are soft, I think you would like these.

Build is 95% done and as it is now not loaded up for a trip its sitting at a tad over 7k lbs. Its .5* high on the rear with Clayton Diesel 3.5" fronts and 3.5" HD's. So loaded up likely add another 200-300 lbs in the Canopy Camper and 100 lbs in the cab. Contrary to what some have said no weight from anything in/on the bed affects the front axle weight. Before Frt 3370lbs, rear 2600, after front 3340lbs and rear 3570lbs.

I'm thinking about changing to 2.5" front springs to get back the factory rake and when loaded up it should set more level. I have 7" up travel now in the front so loosing a inch won't hurt plus I'll gain back a little in the rear. Other option if add 1" spacers to the rear..?

Love the look and quality of the Clayton systems... its a match up between Clayton and Metalcloak for me right now.

I was originally going with Clayton but they quoted me nearly 3x the shipping cost which is odd seeing as I'm in Toronto and they're an 8 hour drive from me, whereas Metalcloak is the other side of the country.

Does the Alu-Cab have its own front Bulkhead in the bed?
