So I checked mine today while I was installing my air bags. It hadn't melted or anything but there was a small shiny spot on the exhaust where it had rubbed at some point. I rerouted the harness/tube and all is good now.

Final installed 2/4 maxtrac with bilstein shocks, Adjustable panhard bar . Took me forever 6 plus hours I'm not a mechanic but got it done.

Ride is almost perfect, just a little stiffer all around but overall still smooth and not annoying.

Just need 10k for a Whipple. Lol

Did you use Bilsteins all around or just the Ford ones in the rear? I'll be doing this later this summer. Got a few other projects going on right now.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to share some info. I recently contacted MaxTrac on the status of the potential upper control arms to help correct camber with the drop kits. This was the update I received. Still in process! I'm looking forward to potentially doing the 2/4 kit with control arms and panhard bar.

"We are hoping for end of June right now but it could go into July. Due to Covid, we have had a number of roadblocks in regards to these arms. We will definitely update everyone on IG as soon as we know more. Thank you for reaching out and have a great Memorial weekend"

same response i got guess they had them made in china? seems like these companys would have had a kit out that works correctly? not adding parts later? i mean belltech should have had one out the day these trucks came out? they know good and well there are those of us that want a lowered truck? i really wanna sit down and talk to the research dept and ask why these kits were not out, soon as say a mustang or sliverado comes out bam theres a lowering kit! but its like they were like ,hey would anyone wanna lower their truck? gee i dont know i guess we will wait and see? or hey we got a kit for them, ok! hey we forgot to add some things? ok call china see if they can make parts? ok! hey lets say we got parts coming, ok how long? dont know guess when we get them?

Not at all. Idk why they have that notation in there.

Hauled the two bikes today and gear. Left the bags at the normal 10psi and really no sagging.

I assume with the two street bikes I’ll need 15-20psi
