Hows everyone pulling these truck?

out of curiosity, are rear air bags allowed in work-stock class?

Oil Field Trash · Feb 19, 2013

No they have to have all the air let out and the lines unhooked. And id like to see a write up on the lock up switch.

I'll trade dual shock pic for a lock up wiring diagram lol.
This is passenger side. I took my sway bar off. Used bolts through the swaybar mount on the axle for the shock bottom. I welded a nut into a hole thats already in the frame so I could just bolt the upper bracket I made to it. Takes about 8 minutes to install both sides.

Didn't you get the wiring diagram i sent you in pm?

Mike@MPD · Feb 19, 2013

Ill see if i can get you guys a wiring schematic, i know it locks up instantly, i have not really tried it more than that, the first time i did it the truck wheel hopped and blew the planetary gear apart lol, havent been able to drive the truck since due to pcm issues but when i get the thing running again ill get a video just to make 100% sure it works right.

No sir. I just double checked my pm's don't see it.

Did this cure your hopping?

Anybody with the dual shock setup, how is the tire rub with it? Can you still turn good or is that out of the question?

Mine don't hit. But that's not saying that it will clear all backpacking and tire combos.

ok good. What size tire are you running?

The biggest two I've. Had them in are 325/55/20" and 35/12.5/18" I usually end up with about 1" of clearance.

here you go.

use a 22k resistor instead of a 12k. i effed up when i made this

100% cured the hop.

Awesome - thanks for that!

Perfect! I want to get a set of 35/12.5/20"s this summer and didn't want to have to lose any of my turning radius with another shock. Thats good news.

Great you and sledpull have me convinced! I'll be doing a double shock install this summer!:toast: Thanks a lot for the info guys!

Awesome. Thanks a ton! I just have a few questions. 1) does the trans seem to shift ok under normal driving conditions with the switch off? And 2) do you need to have a 3 way switch or can one of the up fitter switches work? Sorry I'm just a bit of a newb when it comes to wiring especially when it's tapping into factory harnesses lol thanks

Oil Field Trash · Feb 19, 2013

:whs: about the up fitter switch being used

trans shifts perfect. off on the switch is no converter lockup. yes you need a 3 way switch, so you can add and subtract the converter whenever you like.

(aka) no you can't use a upfitter switch to do that schematic.

Oh ok thanks for clearing that up. So the off switch won't have the converter lock up at all? Then what position would be normal driving?
