Pics of my truck after Thuren install...
Parked next to my brothers '06 F-350 4x4 with Donahoe 4.5" lift and 35x20 Toyo Open Country MT's:

Loods GOOD!!
I like your truck. I love black but for me to keep it clean would require washing it every day!! I also love lifted megacab's. I'm thinking about going and getting one after the first of the year!!

That is what I'm talking about! I love Thuren's products. I want the same setup as you, but I'm going with the 3" springs and some 3" controls arms.
Truck looks good man! [guitar] |
Looks good!:cool:
Hows the ride now? Any pics of the track bar? And did you ever find out how much caster they aligned it with? |
Which coil springs did you get? I didn't think Don sold springs. Do you have kings in the back as well? Nice truck too, I'd like a megacab as well but can't justify losing money on mine to get one.

I went through this same thing with my Titan. Ended up with a set of hybrid Deaver/stock springs with Bilsteins shocks on that truck. I have a feeling I'll end up with the same type of setup with this truck, only with King shocks valved by Don. I forgot to take pics of the track bar and sway bar end links. I'll get some and post them in a few minutes. No, never found out about the caster setting but I'm pretty confident they were returned to factory specs. |

The springs are made for Don to his specs by a 3rd party. I don't have the Kings yet out back because I'm too broke right now [verymad]. But the factory stuff sucks pretty bad so I don't think I'll be able to wait that long. |

Yeah, im sure the back will get worse(or ill notice it more) after I get the front dialed in... Only reason I asked about alignment was because of people saying factory spec was 3*, but when leveling it out best settings were between 4.5*-5.5* |

Looks great! When that stock steering wears out, get Don's crossover steering. It's awesome.
I just ordered four King 2.5 shocks from him and he is going to valve them for me. I'll let you know how they work out in the rear of the truck. I'm like you, it rides like crap, so I hope the new shocks will work a little better back there. |
Sweet. I cant wait to start ordering my stuff from him.

Are you going to change springs in the back? I talked to Don yesterday about working the rear while maintaining the ability to tow a large 5th wheel. He suggested Carli's spring pack and a set of Timbrens. The funny thing is I had the exact same type of setup on my Titan (Deaver/stock hybrid spring pack, Bilstein shocks and Timbrens) and it worked really well. I just may have to give it a shot. Now I just need to come up with the scratch to get it done.....anyone want to buy some stock tires or suspension components?

Right now I have some KORE Fox 10's on the rear that Sage was kind enough to lend me....personally, I don't like the way they're valved. I'm going to a 10" King piggyback because I only have 10" of travel in the new bags. BTW, I have a pair of 12" King 2.5's for sale if anybody's interested, I need to get rid of them to offset the cost of the new 10's. |
