@AMERICAN_GEARHEAD
@AMERICAN_GEARHEAD 9 ай бұрын
Yeah 9" lift is pretty extreme and this kit utilizes the factory front strut assemblies and the rear springs.
@tomk5047
@tomk5047 8 ай бұрын
I believe the at4 strut is taller than a regular 1500 strut, so double check that and hopefully you kept the crossmember for the front that was cut out to accommodate the diff drop. If you don't have that cut off piece, go to a junkyard and cut one out. Going from high to low isn't that hard, but it takes time. Don't forget your brake lines since you have extended ones.

You may already know this but adding that blow off/recirc valve adapter with the hole in it will lose you some power and cause a rich condition between shifts. The computer might not pick it up but that is what's happening. That's metered air escaping. I can explain it further if that doesn't make since. No hate just putting it out there in case you or someone didn't know.

None so far except for one nasty bump on my way home from work everyday has the rear axle bottoming out at 15psi. I've since bumped the bags up to 20psi and added lille rubber bumpers on the frame that pop in the holes where the original bump stop brackets were. Other than that, its been smooth sailing after the alignment.
