It was great to finally meet yall and check out your trucks. It sucks going to meets without a vehicle but hopefully I will have the fuel system back together before the end of the weekend.

FYI I don't daily drive this truck anymore as I also have a '17 Supercab 5.0.
Can I ask why you are not running the overload spring in the rear? Is it just to help squat and load the rear?

It's something I did for ride height, actually. Removing it let it settle maybe .5 inches. After removing it, leaf spring wrap up was horrible, so that was when I installed the VAS flip kit traction bars. I didn't do it for 60' times, but who knows if it actually hurts or helps.

Since I have slam air helper air bags in the back, I just pump them up when needed, so (IMO) the overload springs are redundant anyway. All of this results in a lowered short bed truck that doesn't ride too bad.
