It's funny they make almost everything for cars but it's hard to find good parts for trucks. That's why im starting to build my own.
Oh and by the way Duct Tape is the **** lol

So basically, I decided that my budget for prototyping stuff is gone.

I had Belltech lowering struts installed about a week ago and so far I'm happy with the ride. The truck feels better balanced and while it's not a "Caddy" ride its about what I was expecting back when the lowering kit was first installed.

I also, got the shock bushings for the upper mount drilled out to 14mm and installed.

Not sure what my next steps are. I was really hoping to pull the trigger on some Kooks over Black Friday but the deals weren't significantly better than they typically are.

Oh and I switched over to a DiabloSport InTune. There doesn't seem to be much the tuners can due with the E85 tune vs the factory tune. The flexibiity on changing other parameters without having to constantly re-engage the tuner is convenient for me.

what tuners have you talked with that give you the idea that there's not much that can be done between gas and E85? I would suggest you broaden your search field...

Kooks are ordered.

Now I'm looking for a converter. I'm confused if I need a single disk or multi-disk.

Also, does someone know who to order Circle D from outside of Texas? Preferably at a discount?

Also going to get my rear wheels widened.

ID go with a Yank but that's just me... Single disk if you're going to stay naturally aspirated.

No idea... But why? Call whatever mfg you choose and have them spec you out something for your setup... Don't try to be smarter than the situation lol
