What are those Dynatracs rated for, tire size wise?? He have any issues with them?

Are you going to run longer front shocks? When I leveled my Dodge years ago (2.5") it almost doubled the distance to the bump stops at ride height. I drove it like that for years but ultimately switched to longer shocks (same brand and model). The ride really improved. I think with the stock length shocks, they were actually hitting the end of the shock extension over rough spots causing harshness.
Not sure, but I’d be comfortable running a 37” on that 44 front, but no bigger. The 60 in the rear would take a 40, but it’s a semi-float so that limits it a bit. I ran a semi float, high pinion pro-rock 60 on mine for years - and broke it 5 times…
Thomas is just getting them in, so no experience yet.
Not planning on changing the shocks. I don’t think the 1 1/2” block is going to cause much in the way of problems, at least according to what I’ve read. There is still a good bit of down travel.
That said, I ran a set of Fox shocks my last big Ford, and those rhode really, really well. I may swap these out at some point, especially if I go with a little bigger tire.
This Platinum rides crazy smooth and quiet for a 3/4 ton diesel, so I’ll certainly notice it if the ride goes south.
I figured you might not need to with 1.5" blocks. I know better now, but was really surprised at the time how little up and down travel my 1 ton 4x4 truck had in stock form.
why am I not surprised?
I've broken my semi-float Dana 60 3 times so far. I'm stopping if I break it again and getting a 14 Bolt like Jeff.
Say what you want about Facebook, but I posted an ad for the old tow pig on Marketplace on Thursday, and it sold this morning for what I wanted. Quite pleased with that. Met some nice people too.
Bye bye Old Tow Pig Twin...

Sure you sold the right one?
Picked up a set of vanity plates for the rig today. So much for my previous "Sleeper" approach...
But all vanity it's not. This plate is an annual fundraiser for an organization that raises money to help the children of Veterans who gave it all for our country.
And it's getting further out of hand. At the DMV this morning....

At first I read BALDJ
Yeah, before you got those plates, no one would ever notice your rig
And on that topic @Alex01 and I saw the @NashvilleTJ "lite" rig on Fordyce this weekend:
Also today I’m finally getting around to carving the drawer faces for the big cabinet my son Brady and I built a few months ago. Nothing feels as good as a scary sharp carving chisel.
No blood so far…

OK, I’m not getting the reference, Mike. What am I missing (besides the power of observation
)?

You did a piece that look very similar to this a while ago. But if my memory serves me you posted pictures of it stained also.
I’ve done this fan a few timea, but Mike quoted the post with the new tag.
That was my SWAG at what he was getting at....
Edit: I need to learn how to be more observant.... Forget everything I said.

The sneeze shield and all the hand sanitizer on the counter. Harkens back to the craziness of Covid
They still have that crap at the DMV here.
