400 miles on a set of Terrain Tamer parabolic leaf springs, front & rear springs.
Just the leaf springs available, no bushings, no shackles, ect.
Be aware, I don’t BS people, these are not what everyone is saying they are. They are designed to...
Save the planet's water, fossil fuel energy, and RAM prices and just do a standard Google search. Many threads on this exact issue you describe pop up in half a second with a standard search. These vehicles are highly complicated and technical...

I'm a big fan of how my truck rides with the OME setup I got from Cruiser Outfitters. I've installed the Dobinson stuff and it was ok, seemed to be a little bouncier than my OME stuff. I've also heard their customer service wasn't the greatest...
Made some headway over the last 48 hours. What a messy job, but we got it done....
There's something strange about pulling a vehicle into the shop knowing its the last time it will ever drive. Its way different than just buying a motor...
You definitely have enough lift for high steer.
Sounds like you got a set of FROR keyed arms, that’s the best setup out there IMO. Definitely do not turn the pins down to the run the stock trunions, the 25mm bearings are way stronger/better. I...

The information you seek is all in this forum as this as has been documented on several builds over the last 15years, but the short answer (and best setup, in my opinion) as of 2026 is to use all 00-06 GM parts, including bellhousing and internal...

use a Dragy and measure actual stopping distance from 60mph instead of just how you feel.
And if you do want to upgrade the fronts you can have the exact same performance as that $3270 kit for 1/3 of the cost with 00-06 Tundra rotors/calipers...
Here is the PCB in the enclosure, not yet potted. Clear soldermask on the boards make them look funny/cool.
Wired in for testing.
Low voltage setting has alternator output accordingly.
Cranked up, gets around 15-15.2v

I started this project with a web search. I figured that these trucks must have a Class III hitch available on the aftermarket somewhere... and got several hits in Australia. Shipping something this heavy was going to cost an arm and a leg... but...
This was my first thought. The PCM with the IAC pins can be used on both dbw and dbc, but the pcm without the iac pins can only be used on dbw. Even further. Sometimes these old PCMs are just effed up. I was having issues on the last ls swap i...
Today I got the transmission out, clutch and pressure plate off, Split the transfer case to start putting in the sumo gears, and I dropped the rear driveshaft off at the shop to be shortened. I had to remove the rear driveshaft with a prybar and...
Idle air control valve - basically an electronic valve that mounts in the throttle body that allows a controlled amount of air into the TB. Without it the truck won't idle unless you make other adjustments on the TB.
