Yeah, I'm DDing it again. I am not too concerned with weight since I've added the turbo kit and 80E since I've weighed the truck. I'm surely back over 4000 these days. I'd guess around 4100 on the street. The steel vs alum bodies aren't going to be a deal breaker, the price will be LOL. QA's are spendy to be beating on every day.
You've got 1 of the lightest on PT even on Ext. Cab. Heck, you're lighter than me!
GMCtrk, I'd be happy w/. 4100 in my RCSB; 3900 would make it handle even better.
Ya, they're spendy!
But I also bought Dbl adj. It's cool when u can crawl under truck, turn ***** & feel a difference. Whether it Cadillac smooth or for handlin/ track. I love that, everything but the price. Ya, ya. I know Jonathan, u don't even crawl under. That's 1 reason I considered the Ranchos.

Not on the Double Adjustable QA1, they're independent *****.Takes longer to get on ground than to twist a few *****.
xrevx1, the Single Adj. simultaneously do R & C; provides 12 adjustments, IIRC. Double adjustable allows 576 combinations, plenty of possibilities to confuse a guy. Each **** has a (+) or (-) & is marked R or C. 24 settings ea. ****.

once upon a time this thing was just dipping in the 3800lb range... shoot me a PM if you'd like to know more, I'm sure youre trying to get weight out of yours with the new setup right?

stiff as in how? stiff in compression or extension? i know my factory shocks were pushing up on the bed, as in if i compressed them all the way, the piston would spit back out as soon as i let my weight off of the shock..not helping control body seperation at all...actually encouraging it.

once upon a time I received this PM and was very surprised to learn that really not that much was taken off the truck. In fact, I think someone said if someone looked at or rode in the truck, no one would even know it wasn't bone stock.

Stock springs, stock shocks, and stock hangers. I have belltech shackles, clamped the front of my factory overloads and cut 1.78 60' on 275/55/16 M&H drag radials with no wheel hop at all. I'm planning to add more power and see how far this setup will take me before I start changing suspension.

Especially after reading this...
