Thanks for the replies, everyone. Should update my sig but can't figure out how to do it. Here's a list of my current mods:
Custom Diesel steering brace ($110 shipped)
Bilstein 5100's about a year ago
Non suspension list is way longer and includes a Mini Max with Overdrive, Ryan's tuning (anyone on the Cummins forum knows what I'm talking about), fully deleted and a bunch of small stuff. Early production 08 and still running the earlier steering; debating on cost v/s benefit.
I hate the Reese, also: Chinese and in-bed rails. Next up is either a Companion (I like being able to use the full bed) or an under bed rail system and air ride box.
I'm looking into a full Carli system (Pintop or similar) with their front end and sway bar upgrades, a set of Black Ops arms and rear sway bar.I also want to start checking out steering boxes. For tires I'm thinking about a set of 275/65r20 Nitto Duras on a set of American Outlaw Scorpions (3,600# capacity).
I've seen short bed quads and Mega singles pulling much larger triple axle haulers without complaint so I know this should be an easy fix. Barring any act of God or idiocracy this will be my last truck and plan on converting the rear into a sleeper for long trips after the kids leave the nest. I need to get this sorted as we also plan on a much larger and heavier fiver.
