Have you gotten your Thuren parts installed yet? I'm considering rear control arms and track bar.

An HD makes perfect sense for clearance and travel, along with the added bonus of more durable axles that can be built up to withstand virtually anything. A power wagon would be an excellent platform to build upon for almost any terrain and it would have much more versatility for the cost versus...

I'm not surprised by the experience your friend had with Accutune. On my silverado I had to send them back and have them revalve immediately and then they were perfect. I'm pretty sure they sent them with the off the shelf valving initially, but I did not pull them apart. I agree with you on...

I've never tried thuren or carli, but I had accutune custom valve a set of fox 2.5's on an old 2011 silverado and that was an incredible experience. With the sway bar disconnected on that truck, the ride was excellent and I could not find any negatives. If carli or thuren are as good as their...

Don't sleep on the bilstein 8112 option. If you want the performance of a king 3.0 internal bypass shock, the 8112's are the closest you can get in a bolt on assembly.

I'm interested as well. A higher idle speed could help reduce the chance of a cam/lifter failure due to excessive idle time.

Mine makes the same pinging on acceleration with low grade fuel. I have to run 91 in California if I don't want to hear it. Shouldn't be harmful in the long run, as long as the knock sensors are functioning properly. I've experienced the same pinging in previous gm pickups (2011 and 2020)...

Ditch the pucks and swap the struts to eibach, fox or bilstein. Eibach is usually a very comfortable shock that does not break the bank(they get my vote for replacement shocks, if 2.5" coilovers are not in the budget). Bilstein 5100(similar price) are stiffer, but will handle rough stuff a...

If you're looking for maximum lift, the 8112's are not the best choice. The King's are a longer assembly at full droop, you can check the specs on both shocks. The 8112's are position sensitive, so the ride would be affected if you crank them up too far. I don't have measurements for stock...

I have a set that were off the shelf valving with adjusters. I drive in the dirt all summer and I could never get the front dialed in the way I like it. They are a great upgrade vs stock, but the bilstein 8112's are, in my opinion, noticeably better in every aspect, aside from washboarded roads...

I know this thread has been dead for a couple years, but I've been looking at this setup and I can't find anyone else that has run it. Have you been able to test it more offroad, or tried to dial in your ride more with the adjusters? I've got kings and they could definitely use some improvements...
