I really only have two that I regret. 1. 30" cat back Magnaflow muffler, drone in cab, replaced it with a 52" Nelson/Fleetguard (86131m), perfect. 2. Airlift Air Cells (similar to Timbrens), total junk. One fell apart in less than a year. I am now using Hellwig overload springs (61901), problem solved. Bilstein shocks, a Smarty Jr. and Centramatic wheel balancers were three of the better ones. John

 

I just picked up a set of the Hellwigs overloads for the 3500 but havent put them on yet. Im glad to hear your happy with them! Thanks for adding to the thread as this really helps me figure out what directions I go with the truck.

 

M.T.-I'm glad to hear you can use the info. The best part of my Helwigs is that they are fully adjustable. The only negative is when empty they rattle when going over a bump. Regards-John

 

Does anyone out there have the EZ Edge module? I am planning on putting one on my 2001 6spd quad cab. Im waiting for my boost and pyro gauges first. Also im going to 4 inch full exhaust.

 

I found having twins on my 98 to be a real PIA. Doing a simple oil change turns into a stupid task of needing to remove the tubing on that side. My truck actually caught fire a couple of years ago because the bottom turbo pinched the block heater cord to the frame and chafed it....then one night being plugged in, fire! I dont care to ever build a twined truck again.

 

You are the first person I have ever heard complain about regretting twins. Considering I only change my oil twice a year, the extra 5 minutes to drop my interstage pipe is not hassle enough to want to go back to a single.

 

I wish I had taken the head to get surfaced and o-ringed when I installed studs. Now 2 years later I have to do it all over again because it blew bad.

Edit: this is on my 95...guess I should update my sig.

 

i regret the useless banks air intake, when i went to take it off i realized when installed one of the studs holding it in bottomed out and broke off the thread housing, im just glad it didnt damage anything ... oh and replacing 4 LP i shouldve gone with a FASS from the get go ...

 

Ditto on the Bilsteins and keeping it simple!

 

I like my Bilsteins!
I think I mentioned this, but I should have went to twins instead of the bigger single.

 

Haha, I never thought of this.

 

Great stuff here guys! Anything new?

 

first i would say what I have learned is do spend the extra time and research the product ask a lot of questions on this site. This usually will save a person a lot of time and money. There are to many websites still out there that what to sell the latest or greatest product but have little knowledge on our trucks.

I love the look of my 37" tires but I will be going back to 35"
with that said I wish I would have asked more questions and not purchased the 6' RCD lift that I did. I still have it on the truck after 7 years but have had to replace all of the long arm bushings 2x they do not have a grease zirt. The coils that were with the kit are not progressive coils. they have since compressed about 1"1/2 since new.
if I knew then what i know now I would have looked at Thuren's stuff now since he located here in Oregon only a couple hours from me. I liked the look of 6" lift but I would now be fine with 4" lift.
