Upper joints had play but less significant. I rebuilt all joints; only thing i reused was the drag link and tie-rod bar.

I look forward to more feedback as you get more time on it. I am still loving mine - don't think I've ever had a suspension this long... I was looking into King 3.0" in black/red with 2 tube bypass front and 4 tube rear then i decided against it as I love the highway ride of this kit so much.

Little update as I'm all about transparency given a lot of you look to my truck for torture testing. I did experience a failure on the APEX steering at the year mark. Had a little shake in the wheel i was trying to track down and found it in the Passenger lower tie-rod end. I called Chris and...

How is the Ride with the Carli Shocks?

Thanks! Also, my new-hire, Devon, is slaying it over here. We've left the office with no voicemails and only10% missed call rate (meaning customer left voicemail and got an immediate call back) since he started here!

We only do the 2.5”/3.5" for the gas motor. The 4.5”/5.5" is a much smaller market segment so we only do it for the Diesel. That said, many have had luck with our 4.5” Diesel kit on the Gas truck adding a bumper/winch combo to make up the weight variance between the gas/diesel applications...

I have 35K on mine and haven't had to touch them despite MANY off-road miles. If they don't leak by 50K, I'll rebuild them to run fresh oil at that time as i am a severe use case. I would advise most customers 5 years or 100K to swap to fresh oil.

You're going to be psyched! You're going to cal-truck, correct?

The tune in the Pintops is optimized for the full leaf springs - it's the spring option that will perform best with the Pintop but it's not necessary; ride will suffer slightly but a Tremor will maintain a slightly rear high stance even with stock springs.

I know @TremorHopeful is handled, but, for future readers, we do NOT recommend stock springs with the Commuter or Backcountry - both of these systems are optimized/tuned with the full progressive leaf springs. The Tremors being F350 leaf springs, we don't recommend the add-a-pack, either...

Negative - our shocks would be too long for a stock spring.

Ideal tire ratio rule of thumb, double the wheel size to get the proper tire size. 17s are great with 35-37 18 for 37-38 20 for 40s

The incompatibility is not with the E-Venture but with a lift. We have a smart-hitch equipped Super Duty in the shop & we’ve pulled it in and sent off for some prototype parts to see what’s adaptable. The problem... modifying the height and spring rate obviously won't jive with their algorithm...

I honestly don't get the reviews on the Pintop being stiff. I have been running these trucks with big shocks for 15 years now and have been in every combination of chassis/race shock that exists. The truck that started it all was my 2006 F250 with a Pintop Leveling Kit. I daily drove it, ran it...
