I was hoping you would show the links when the new one were out on. Just to give a quick explanation on what you did And what they look like replaced. No worries at this point but I’m thinking about doing the same for my 2021. I just haven’t decided if im going to level with stock tires (using a shock and coil package) or go with larger tires. Appreciate the video, hard to find this type of info out there.
Yes. Thanks for the comment. The Thuren links are 1 inch longer. The rod is almost twice as thick as the factory. They appear to be substantially beefier than the factory. It's been about a year now and still no issues. Still happy I did it.
I’m looking at this vs the spacer kit on kelderman 1.5inch spacer kit with relocation brackets. That way the factory bag doesn’t have to take more psi. But I can’t find anyone that’s installed it.
@No Name It does still work exactly like factory with same range of motion. It's still higher than factory though.I have an adjustable drop hitch in the rear. Bumper pulls are no big deal. I tow multiple different trailers. My 5th wheel is as low as I can make it and it still has a rake to it. I plan to replace the 35" tires for 33" tires. With the front spacer you'll need to replace your front shocks because they will top out when you hit a bump. ...even small bumps. They claim you don't have to, but that is false advertising.
Question brother, what’s the max rate for the bag can raise ? I figured if it tricks the system they have to be safe. But I wonder if raising it a inch would be fine long term ?
Good question. All I can say is I have not had any issues as of this comment. The ride quality is great. I thought it may be a lot rougher, but it seems as smooth as ever. Very happy. With the 1 3/4 front level and the Thuren Links in the rear my truck looks taller, like a 4x4 should. ...like they did in the 70s.
@@cbrookbsorry I meant to ask what brand leveling kit? All the leveling kits I find are 2” or more. I like how your truck still has a rake to it and isn’t perfectly level.
@user-uw9rp9ow2e Ready Lift makes the 1.75 leveling kit. You need new front shocks with longer travel when you install it. The factory shocks will top out very easily. I learned that the hard way. Fox makes a 1.75 shock, but I had to call them to get it. They may be readily available now. To your point, anything over a 1.75 level won't work on an air ride truck.
@@cbrookbwhat are you talking about? You can put a 1-3” front spacer on an air ride truck. Especially if your using the links you are using and offsetting the front lift. Best bet is to use bds 2” kit cause it comes with a relocation bracket that doesn’t add any height it just keeps same factory geometry. Then you get the Thuren links and you end up getting 1” lift in the rear and same geometry. I’ve had my 2021 limited leveling with new 2” kit for 3 years and it works perfect and rides better then stock
