PS: That alarm idea is crazy.
When I ordered the kit it was the best shocker kit you could get, also when I ordered it it said out of stock on their website. They were ale to put the it together for me. It is just 480C compressor, 5 gal tank, 200psi pressure switch, S4 horns, and all the other stuff the Conductors special kit comes with.
The better kit has smaller everything, 2 gal tank 280c compressor, 145 psi pressure switch. I think horn blasters took the kit I bought down because they said running at 200psi would void the horns warranty.

I did 2 Dyno runs with the truck, both in 2nd gear.






I am happy with the results for a truck with 70k miles on 37s and stock 3.73lsd
I will be purchasing an Edge tuner very soon, I will have it run again after the tuner, oh ya and towing mirrors.

I love the lift, all components are very solid. As with any lift once you get used to it you will want to go bigger. I want 3" more of lift and 38s but Bds doesn't make a bigger lift.

EDGE EVO and towing mirrors will be here soon, then I will be getting gears. I haven't decided on which gears to get yet. Either Youkon or usa standard, and 4.88 or 5.13.

How do your 3.73s handle the 37s? I'm getting some 20x12s and only plan on running 35s, but I know it will still be pretty heavy. Also, do you have a picture of you beside your truck? Just looking for a comparison. I'm 6'3" and I feel like a 6" on 35s is still gonna feel kinda small to me.

I am 5'6 and the hood is just about taller then me. I will get a pic on saturday, it will be dark by the time I get out of work tomorrow. The 3.73s are good, but when I tow 5k-6k pounds It could be better. I frequently pull a 2k pound trailer and cj jeep on 35s. It tows it fine but I think the gears will help a lot. I haven't decided on what gears yet but it is on my list of things to do. With the 3.73 my truck has plenty of power, and when I did the dyno run there was a f150 on 35s with 3.55 gears and I had 10 more tq and hp.

Its going to cost around 1k on parts and im not sure about labor yet. I am still undecided on if it will be worth it or not.
