Wolf , maybe we can do a group buy from one of the vendors on here. I'm interested in the Amp power boards, Azuri would probably be in as I read in you thread. Anyone else interested north of the border.

Okay. Today the truck went into the shop for this wheel howling issue. They replaced the front passenger side hub actuator under warranty. I was driving with my front diff partially locked. No extra component wear my tech said.
It had been damaged when the other shop installed the Bilsteins. So I was sure to give them a good lashing. Normally they probably wouldn't do this under warranty because it was something that had been tampered with. But I work there lol.

So after calling the suspension shop and giving them hell they are organizing to put back my stock struts and block and add 2" spacers and bags in the back. Why this? Currently I'm at 2.5 in the front which is throwing off my CV angle too much and I'm shaking while braking. The bags are because right now I have a 3" block. Not only is this stiff but it's not level as I need a little rake. With bags I'll have a good ride and I'll be level all the time.

For me, Bilsteins ride too rough. Which is too bad because I like the less body roll. But the wheel pops on back roads and I can't take that.
As I write this I realize I haven't really driven it since this fix so maybe some of this has lessened but I doubt all this was from a hub actuator.
I could still lower the bilsteins to 2" and see if it's better, but at this point my patience has kind of
been tested.

Onward...

Just a thought, the rancho quicklift is only advertised as 2" of lift......maybe an option for you.

I've been following this closely, and my takeaway is that I just don't want to mess w/the suspension. I'd love to get bigger tires - maybe Raptor take offs - but it seems the potential downsides are so many compared to the upside of look and possibly tighter turning. I'm leaving it stock.

Well I am getting bigger tires. 33" duratracs. So I'd like the extra height and stance that comes with levelling. This was my first go round with suspension so from now on it won't be more than spacers.

This is my thought process as well.
