I'm pretty sure your talking about my thread from back in the day. I ran with it for about a year with zero issues. Nothing wrong with it in my opinion. Simple and cheap, helps rid the sagging ass from lift/leveling kits without interference. Also its reversible, so I'd say do the stock hanger...

Stacked blocks can be done even though some are dead set against it. But IMO traction bars are a must and I prefer to put heavier u-bolts on. With any more block beyond stock your going to axle wrap pretty bad, especially with 7" worth of block. I'd be looking another direction for rear lift...

As for the back you'll need shocks long enough, there is no extension Ive ever seen. The rear shocks tend to be long anyways. Aftermarket lifted shocks for the rear typically have wide ranges of 3"-7" or 4"-8" or 6-8" lift heights for examples depending on brand. I would add the lift in and buy...

It should be fine to run both. Your caster angle will be near its limit but still tolerable. Many have done the same. Most lift kits regardless of size bring the geometries back to stock, so adding 2" will provide the same angles as if you were stock height adding a spacer lift. As for shock...

I'm just guessing, but I would think having the pump set at 10 PSI and no regulator beyond would work at idle-part throttle. At high-WOT, the pressure would drop, very possibly go on vacuum, especially with dual fuelers. I don't actually know as I've never monitored/tested it before, just a...

Something I encourage you to do as with anyone is to double check the length of the manifold bolts as they fasten the manifold down. I learned the hard way when i installed a brand new stage 3 ported manifold from a highly reputable vendor. The manifold for starters was slightly warped, not a...

Something else I should add when your playing with spring rates to soften ride, the best rides have rates similar front to back. You can put the softest, most plush riding springs in the front that you want, but if the stock aggressive spring rate is used in the rear, not much gets accomplished...

Correct the 450 frame is different, "Heavier" but minimally. The frame weight difference is less than 500 pounds. But call it a 500 pounds heavier for argument sake, cut that in half because the front springs are holding half of it, so 250 pounds additional on the front, divided between two...

IMO you can use whatever spring the SRW superduties are using to lower/soften the ride up front. The f-450 is very close in weight to the srw frame/body wise up front as very little is changed. Much of the additional weight of a 450 is unsprung weight in axles,wheels/tires so it doesn't matter...

Spun a bearing I'd think, crank looks like it got a little warm.

I'd be leaning towards turbo seal for sure. Dealt with it myself, it takes very little grit of contamination to destroy a brand new turbo seal/bearing/bushing. And when they let go into the exhaust its fairly white exhaust, not blue-ish like most would think.

What oil bypass are you referring to? Bp oil cooler kit? Or just an oil filter bypass? or what.

Has the pump been reversed on the front mounted pump?

Oem torque is 100in/lb

To an experienced hand that has setup rear ends before, its pretty straight forward and simple but a little time consuming to do properly. For someone that hasn't done one before, and has to ask how hard or what tools(I mean NO offence either), I wouldn't recommend trying without a significant...

I totally agree with you for the most part. And yes, larger drop in chargers will yield significantly more hp and lower egts over an intercooler upgrade hands down. But that's an apples to oranges comparison. However I don't see the intercooler getting heat soaked much if your continuously...

Agreed, I did same day, same roads, same temps, same everything, cruise controlled before and afters at all speeds, took down egt averages throughout, and did see a drop throughout. Not huge but a drop none the less. My old thread is on nation. Stock turbos/basic supporting plumbing upgrades at...

I've been running the ssbc calipers front and rear for just about a year now. They came with their own pads which I'm also using. The front 6 piston set are a complete caliper replacement that use a different style of pad other than stock. So stock pads don't fit. Rear 3 piston calipers is a...

I highly recommend the bpd oil cooler if you tow heavy regularly, or have an oil cooler plugging off. It drops your oil temp ALOT. My temp difference oil/coolant use to be roughly 5-10 degrees difference(empty highway cruising), and as high as 20-30 degrees difference towing heaving at high...

4.56 is too steep IMO for 37's. Especially if you do highway cruising a lot and want to maintain some mileage. I went from 3.55/38.5" rubber which was luggy but had so much jam on the highway at speed for passing, ect. Pretty well any time it was spooled it still threw you back into the seat...
