    Thank you for the comparison video. I bought the Ride tech kit with the sway bar, track bars and, air bags. I am putting the kit on an extended or "supercab" in the next couple of months. Glad to hear it is a good kit.

    I went with VAS 3/5 with Viking shocks all around including their traction bars and front diff brace and I added the IHC helper bag kit.

      Sounds like a good setup, I’m assuming you’re a 4x4 with the front diff brace. How do you like the ride quality and performance aspect of the kit?

    • @anonymouscitizen9630
      @anonymouscitizen9630 Před 6 měsíci

      It rides good thanks to those fully adjustable Vikiing shock and absolutely no wheel hop. I used to get wheel hop with stock suspension. I have 15 lbs of boost and suspension holds up nice.

    I have a 23 Lariat with the 5.0 Not sure how the crew cab would look lowered but cant do the two door as I need the extra space of the 4 door.

      They look good on the bell tech 2/4 lowering kit, the 3/5 lowering kit might be a bit too low where you’ll run into clearance issue with a full cab / load. Lariat is a perfect trim I miss my 22 Lariat at times 😅

      I know of some people that have it on their weekend warrior trucks but not a true daily. I wouldn’t see anything wrong with it, but I would recommend getting new shocks once you start racing it to make sure they’re valved correctly.

    Been thinking of going with the same kit as you based on wanting a decent ride quality. I got to ask, why is your rear so much higher than the front? Maybe its in shadow in your video, just looks a lot higher.

      When I got it installed, I was coming out of town to pick up the truck. I got to the shop at 9pm and they were finishing up the truck, they told me to bring it back anytime to adjust the ride height.

    • @aldoshifts8395
      @aldoshifts8395  Před 5 měsíci +1

      I towed with the Ridetech kit and their optional tow bags this last weekend. It was about 5500lbs and it did it no problem. You will get trailer sway due to the short wheel base of the regular cab but other than that nothing to worry about.

    How does it ride compared to stock? Just got the Vas 3/5 and it rides rough af. Thinking of upgrading to ridetech or going back to stock and using a drop shackle. These houston roads are ass

    • @aldoshifts8395
      @aldoshifts8395  Před 5 měsíci +1

      It drives very similar to stock. These trucks just don’t ride well overall due to short wheelbase, 2wd doesn’t have enough weight in the back but the Ridetech does its best at compensating

      I think you 2 inch drop shackle for a 2wd and 1.5 if you’re a 4wd to get a perfect level. I would just verify what I just said
