Loving it. Its so much better than stock its unbelievable. Soaks up big bumps and dips, its smooth, not jarring or bouncy anymore. Just a total improvement. By far the best riding super duty ive had.

I was afraid you were going to say that lol. I sure wish they made those 2.5" piggybacks for stock height.

Put some springs in it and be done with it. I think their shocks do work with stock height.

I got the specs on the 2.5" Piggybacks:

The rear ones are 20.6" compressed & 35" extended, mine measures 22.5"
The fronts are 14.92" compressed & 24.22" extended, mine are at 18.5"

I was hoping I might be able to get by with those shocks at stock height, but it looks like it would be too close. That would put me at:

2" from full compression on the rear
3.5" from full compression on the front

I don't think I could get by with that. Would hate to bottom the shocks out and destroy them.

My truck is stock height in rear. It is a 350 thogh so it has the tall block. I think they would work. Just man up and order the 2.5 springs lol

not a huge fan of the rbp stuff, but i think with painted headlights it woudl really all get tied together. Is that something that's in the future?

josh@thedieselcartel · Oct 13, 2011

Yes, should have headlights finished and installed in a week or less I hope.

Very wicked looking !

Thanks guys
I finally installed my HIDs yesterday. They have been sitting here for a couple months already. I have been waiting on my painted headlights to come in so I could do it all at once but 3 months later and they still have not been completed!

Anyways, here are the HID and LED

Looks great, What kit did you use for your fogs? I had some in my 08 that were to bright to run in traffic. I have retro solutions sitting here for my truck and I also see they have a capped bulb for the fogs that are not to bright for oncoming traffic. Thanks
