This Suspension is a must have item. I've ben testing many different setups.
The only one that survived was this one. There is two versions The red one is all metal the other one got plastic rod ends and break easy. (the springs are plastic)

It give a lot more stability and a lot more traction even on an empty truck.

I agree! What a difference it made replacing the rear stock suspension with this setup

Took the rig out for a cleaning and thought i'd snap some shots while she's dust free.

















Took some other pictures with the bed down but they all turned out upside down lol

Hey Brandon, we could use a few shots of your truck hooked to the lowboy hauling the hoe too.

Looks great! I apologize if you already posted this but I'm curious: where did you find the wires that you used from the truck to the trailer? They look really nice!

I bought it from a gentleman out of the UK that makes scale parts for our trucks. Try contacting him through either ebay or his facebook page.

Love it Brandon, very nice photos. If it were mine I would keep all of clean too, hate to see that stuff get dirty. Even with all of your mods that lowboy looks very close to the ground in the front.

Thanks guys your comments are much appreciated Still thinking if I should put her to work or not lol. I raised the lowboy a tad more to try and get the ride height correct when trailer is loaded. Think clearance is good now

Brandon where did you get the 1/4 fenders on your truck? Those are not King Hauler. Very nice.
