I should find out more about whats going on this week.

I also got my next R&R pushed up to next week because I have a CCNA class in Dubai. So next week I will be taking my class then the week after that I will be back in Idaho for a few days to play with my truck, I cant wait.

Also take a look at my coming home gift to my self She should be dropped off Tuesday afternoon. 08 R1 with 6k miles.
I usually not big on bikes but that one is BA

Hey man I work on trucks like this all the time. It looks like it cycles clean as far as retaining alignment through travel pretty well. Try turning the high-speed rebound down on your bypasses in the front and rear. That will keep your truck from bucking so hard when it bottoms out. If you tune your bypasses very well you can get that 16" to ride like you have 24. Good place to start though!

Thank you very much. I unfortunately don't know how to do any of that, but will bring it up with my shop. I want to go out with King one day and have them tune my suspension to my liking.


Also I do SatCom for the Marine Corps in the Middle East
