Make sure your I.D. of the front eye bushing is the same as what you need for the caltracs. I had belltech lowering leafs on my last truck and went to install them and the ID of the front eye was way smaller than the caltrac bushing.. I didnt feel like finding a way to machine the alum bushings(or poly bushings which is what i ended up using) down so i had to go back to the stock leafs with no overload=not much drop.. If you happen to need a set of caltrac bushings, i still got a set you can have..
good luck..lol

Funny u say that, but guy called me back on Caltracs. Said, unless I'm runnin Belltech's cause they encapsulate the spring perch, I could use stock off-the-shelf Caltrac's. I wanna say he said p/n 3400. Kinda stinks spending $359 for a pr. of traction bars.

I asked if they come w/. alum. bushings cause I wanna run poly anyway. I might take u up on that.

Trick Tank 1 1/2 Gal. Composite.
Fender brace needs to come out to put it in there.

-10AN - 5/8" Barb is same thing. I had powdercoated too. Original IC tank is only a QT, whole system holds a Gal. This adds 5 more QTs. So 2 1/4 Gal. If my math is right.

I would actually prefer a fitting that didn't run so close to A/C & was angled away. I had some spare to go this. And the line farther away from firewall, I just swung the hose that went to side of orig. 1 QT. IC reservoir around to pass. side. No addtional length or cuttin needed.

Glad to hear ya got it bolted up man, I bet it's exciting to see it under the hood!
Just thought I'd point this out. Please see original post on this thread, what, wasn't it like 8-13, then had powdercoated fittings done, I drove on it, tore it down, fixed a serious issue, & moved on to my next phase. All inside of 2 wks.



Careful who u doubt.

2025 huh? Wow that came up fast.
