+1. I would recommend some traction aid without the overload.

Nice! is this the one AJ had or did you find another one? Your cam would feel at home in a 6.0 are you going to swap it over?

I got rid of my overloads a long time ago and definitely don't regret it one bit... I think I'm gonna do a bolt in notch to keep it from bottoming so much...

different 6 litre. Out of an 01 truck. Its kinda sun whooped but no biggie. Guy tells me he got it from the dealership for 450 with "burnt valves" from propane being run in it?

So it helped soften up the ride better? What shocks do you run? I have been thinking about taking mine out...

yeah it did. Its not as stiff but its still got the lowered truck feel, I like it, especially not being as stiff.
Im still running Toxic drop shocks.. havent had 1 thing to complain about. Fronts were kinda hard to put in but no problems
