    We opted for the king size bed. I think there might be one with a smaller bed and a couple bunks that would be good for a family, but it’ll be tight. The truck does OK towing it but I’ll be investing in a supercharger and 4.56 gears before a trip west in August. Check out the Winnebago website...

    I got the tabs for the cross member kind of on a lark. I didn't really think there would be much improvement in ride quality by bracing the hangers. Wrongo-dongo. This is some voodoo magic shit. Thing drives like a car. Don't pick on my welds. Im sensitive.

    this could be made from plywood and sealed to perfection. seems like a cool project actually itd weigh more, but be that much more durable than carbon. but quite honestly, looking at it, id just as soon make the sides soft with zippers and reduce the weight

    Worrisome sound at full lock only in one direction

    Good morning. A couple nights ago I was doing an illegal U-turn at an intersection. As I was in the middle of it, turning to my left at full lock, my right wheel rolled over a slightly elevated portion of the road. A repeated banging, metal on metal sound commenced till I straightened the wheel...

    No. Safe to say this is what someone with a moderate lift should shoot for to regain some highway manners. Less will result in pretty indiscriminate wandering at speed.

    Question: if you had stock leafs and icon add a leaf with the overload reinstalled but hated how jittery the ride was, would you swap them for a set of deavers or add hammer hangers?

    I’m never touching vinyl wrap again. This looks like garbage up close. It’ll cut down on glare well enough though.

    Added spacers. 1.5" Then I took them off as there was not enough purchase on the stock wheel studs. I have a box of longer studs ready for installation. This is what that temporary moment of glory looked like.
