    Beefed Up Front End

    I think I finally finished the front end on my truck this weekend.

    Over the last couple of years, I have installed, Thuren 2.5” springs, Thuren track bar, Thuren sway bar, and King steering stabilizer.

    Then in the last couple of months I have put on Carli Lifetime ball joints, King 2.0 Thuren rated shocks, and then this weekend, I put the Synergy drag link and tie rod in.

    Trucks steering feels good now.

    I’m thinking of doing Thuren soft rate coils and king shocks in the rear and installing airbags for towing.

    Just putting the king shocks in the front drastically improved the ride quality.

    I can’t imagine how it would feel on all four corners.

    I have Carli everything except the drag link in my front end, and tierod is Synergy.

    The last thing I have to swap is the control arms.

    I'll problem be doing them here soon.

    The ride quality is leaps and bounds better.

    The add packs for the rear make a vast improvement as well.

    Soften the rear up quite a bit, and I have not noticed it squat any more than usual with a load in the bed.

    Just in case, I put the long travel bags under too.

    I can't stand squatted trucks, LOL.

    It makes a huge difference in ride quality, and I want to pull the trigger on the coils and King rear shocks.

    The most I tow is my boat, only about 5K pounds.
