No not rough at all. The added travel and having the right spring rates and valving made a world of difference. Truck has never been so fast. Can't wait till the next race. Ya that red ranger if pretty fast for a leaf springer on a stock 302.

Not trying to hijack this thread, but i can't seem to get the owner of this build or a word of advice about the set up, also awesome truck, started on page 1. So cool to see how far it has come.
anyways, i want to run a set up like the pictures, 10" shock, f31s, 4" 2.0 bump stops, camburg shackles, and kartek drop hanger. How well will this ride? assuming shock tuning is close.
I can't do a bed cage this is the reason for it, and the truck will only see the desert maybe 20% of the time if that. i have a bms mid travel kit with bumps strapped at 13"
pic won't upload, but its a tube running under the bed between the frames with a new mount off the axle

Haven't updated lately. Ate the bearings/synchros in the trans. Got that fixed as well as other prep done.
Put a windshield on it and new tires and started driving it on the street a bit. Now torn down again getting ready for the big race in February.

I can't believe how much this truck has transformed since your first post in 2009.
Hell, I can't believe we're still reading a thread that started in 2009!
