can you make me one of those with a 6 0r 8 inch drop step?????

Is there anyone out there who is using the parking brake switch to ground or turn on their Isspro Turbo Temp Monitor? The original schematic showed the 'emergency sshutdown' switch on the +12v side. I wanted to incorporate the brake switch so no one could drive off with my truck. First I...

You can go with either coil spring spacers and the stock springs, or the Skyjacker replacement coils (d25 I think). Either way you will have to have new shocks as the stock ones will limit travel. If tire clearance on turning is an issue you may also need or want longer link arms to re-center...

Double check, but my Autometer EGT guage uses 1/8" NPT threads. I bought a 1/8" NPT tap at Homer D. for a few dollars. It came with the right size drill bit. Have fun Dave

I remember reading that pulling to the right was one of the most common new car complaints for our trucks. The explanation was that the factory toe-in was almost none to increase tire wear and fuel economy. The downside is that the camber in the road has more effect. On a two lane road, the...

I've got just 10k on mine, but it's great. Very straightforward to install. The people at DT are great to deal with if you can get ahold of them. Dave.

Yup, that was it! Got her out of the shop today. I'm a big fan of the new ride and look. Thanks for all the help. This site definitley makes life w/ a CTD easier. Thanks again Dave Ruth

Anyone running the SJ 4. 5" lift with replacement rear springs..... Did you use the stock blocks with the new springs?? I just let my truck off the jack stands and it's lower than stock. I thought one of the main benefits of the replacement springs was to eliminate the blocks and 'axle...

Well, the bar showed up sur enoug today. Just in time, I couldn't go forward with my lif w/o it. This thing looks MUCH cooler in person than in pic's. I paid list price + 2day UPS AZ to SC, but I needed it. No time to haggle. Mediccumin, you'll be impressed when it comes. Hope it's soon...

I called DT on Friday 6/6, and I think it was Dave who got back to me on Monday 6/9. He supposedly shipped my trac bar on Monday. We'll see if it shows up tomorrow. It must be the links or the shock mounts that are holding yours up. Hope you get them soon. Dave Ruth

DT finally called me back tonight at 7:15 eastern time. the guy I talked to apologized and said they were just swamped. Probably all the TDR members. Anyway, he said that UPS had not picked up yet and they would get my bar out today. Thanks DT and thanks to those that responded to this post...

Hey, any of you who have had dealings with DT fabrication to replace your trac bars, I'm having a problem getting in touch with them. I've been calling since Friday and have gotten no response. Their web site makes it sound like a full time business, but I've had no luck. Any help is...

thanks HC. Good to know. I don't know what we would do w/o TDR. I'll Be relocating mine this weekend.

I Just finished this install as well, but I mounted the sender + tapped banjo directly to the outlet of the fuel filter. What is the reason for remote mounting the sender?? I apparently missed the boat!!:confused:

chuck- Did you use the banjo adapter for yours or the schrader-type?
