It get's hot when it's been sitting but when the truck is running, the AC keeps it ok. I've only had one hot warning and it went away pretty quick.

No springs or shackles.....yet. Everything else though has been done or will be done this week.

I have never used Carli rear springs as I need high weight capacity in rear of truck. But can not speak highly enough of rear spring greaseable shackles.Makes truck ride so much smoother.Have them in all of mine. Their trac bar is also awesome.Can not get front end alignment done with out unless you go with a cheaper trac bar solution. great looking build. Almost the same as one of mine

You all remember “Mad Mike” from West Coast Customs? He’s doing the install!

I have the carli front sway bar kit on 3 of mine . 1 with leveling kit and 4.5-5.5 lift on the others. it will ride excellent. but need to keep an eye on greasing and making sure they are not getting loose/the end links.i grease mine and radius arms with every oil change. i want see your mechanic install the lower steering stabilizer with out letting any of the 200psi of nitrogen out. i tried twice/2 different trucks. i guess i'm just a old fart anymore

that truck is looking awesome

Got around to taking pictures of the work.

I have noticed that the truck as a low rumble you can feel with the intercooler tubes now.

Do you notice a difference in ride quality with the shackles?

It seems less jarring and seems to be more compliant.

I know ride is subjective but I think it was worth it.
