    Cen cal trucks.. what a joke.

    It's funny, we are about 2-3 hours from that area. It's a central Ca. valley thing/look. You go over the hill and make your way into the valley and then ....boom...you see trucks like this everywhere. It's crazy, not the look I am into.

    Suspension settling questions

    x2. Adding lift keys will allow for more twist out of the torsion bar, so that will help you get the front end back up. On the HD's I have never really seen the bars settle any large amount that a set of lift keys could not fix. On the older trucks we used to see them keep sagging and we would...

    Suspension settling questions

    I would put some more adjustment on the t-bars to be back where you started. Just keep a eye on the UCA to frame and you are fine. If the adjustment if maxed out at this point then yes you can add lift/indexed keys and that will allow you to turn the bars further to gain the height back. I am...

    NorCalTruck MySpace

    I was just talking about this on another forum. I have noticed after the NCT Face Book was up and running, there is a ton of people adding us and most of them are of the older crowd. The myspace I think has been populated by the younger crowd. This is not a bad thing just something I have...

    Upper/Lower control arm bushings

    It's been a very long time sense we have done bushings on your year trucks so I can't remember the details but on the newer trucks the lowers are not that bad but the first time is tricky finding the sweat spot on how to tackle it. On the uppers we never swap the OE control arm bushings because...

    Leveling kit Questions??

    Rancho shocks are generically valved. Not for a specific truck rather than what fits. That is my reason of not feeling that are a great up grade. On the Bilstein many suspension company's have used them for there kits to maintain or better the ride of a truck. There shocks are spec'd with...

    Leveling kit Questions??

    What about ride, do you want it to maintain or be better? I sell a ton of Carli leveling kits for the 8-lug Dodges. The Dodges with spacers can harm the ride as the truck is lifted but the suspension becomes in a bind and Carli makes a couple kits that are not bad priced for what you get out of...

    ** NEW ** Cognito limit straps

    I have had a ton of drag guys call me about that problem and I have told them all to do something like this be never have seen if anyone has tried it. Makes sense. You can get the straps shorter, maybe a special order but can be done.

    Shock Suggestions?

    You could put a couple turns into the torsion bar adjuster and it can help the ride. Not alot but a little more space to move can go a long way.
