The biggest drawback on this truck is they changed chassis etc at 2012 on the 2500s and now changing again at 2014 so nobody is making dropped spindles for them or control arms. Also cant get big brakes for this model. I have a spare 04 front end with big Brembos and McG 2" spindles was thinking of doing a transplant

I was talking about in the standing mile by the way.

That's not as funny as it may seem. With my 04 before we got it hooking half decent and going into the 9s - first day out we ran 13 flat @ 129 lol

Yea I heard they were changing the lug pattern, but didnt know they changed the suspension that much. I recommend coilovers!

2011 I think they changed from 8 x 165 to 8 x 180. Chassis and suspension completely different with fully boxed frame rails. If I remember reading the only single thing reused in the suspension was the (stabiliser) bar across the front. Now I believe they changed the 2014 again

Yea. Know what you mean. Doesn't always win the races but looks good doing it. Hard getting big hp to the ground in heavy trucks, but when you are a truck man at heart it doesn't always matter. Just got to have FUN. Im 67 years old and cant stop loving pickup trucks now lol
