Shocks are not on yet...the truck was too low for me to get under lol (I'm 290) I'll put them on when I do the fuel pump and lines since I'm pulling the bed off anyways

Making progress man.

I'm trying to remember, last time you came over to the house, did you say you may be interested in my entire A2W setup or was that someone else?

Thats one of the last big ticket items I have left for sale and need to get it gone.

Alright so i'm down to the last piece of the puzzle....i hope! I need to decide on what stall i want to go with as far as company. I had a circle d in my gmc with no complaints but lately i've been seeing some negative stuff on them and it has me looking else where. I talked to fti yesterday but im still open to recommendations. Who would yall go with as far as the converter goes?

CircleD converters are good...the problem is, they aren't rated with the weight of a truck in mind.

I had to go to the absolute tightest converter they can build in 258mm to hold down my S480 and even then it wasn't as efficient as I would like.

Now with that same converter and being an n/a turd, my engine struggles to rev lol

If you actually go to CircleDs shop you will see it's a very impressive operation. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
