Chad and Lisa I have to tell you I watch a lot of truck videos and about 15-20 minutes is about all the time I spend watching a video and I'm on to a different one. But when I see one of your videos the first thing I do is check the length and the longer the video the more excited I get. I really enjoyed your video and all of your videos. You always make me laugh. I love the the 359,379 and the 389 Pete's but there's something about the 386 that I really like. And when this one was done. It's a good lookin truck. I really like it. So thanks for your videos. Keep em coming. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Another way to describe what the wedges do is they add positive caster to the front steering geometry. When you add front rake, you reduce the caster which as you pointed out would cause the truck to wander and not center itself. Positive caster adds negative camber to the front tires when you turn which helps keep the tire contact patch at a more even load on the road. This reduces front understeer.

Sooo, the wedge that you guys used on the suspension.. helps with the caster angle of the front wheels? Correct? Great video guys!

the problem i see with that deep a drop is that the radius on the fender does not match anymore, including the radius on the bumper. needs some fiberglass work on the fenders as well as some welding on the bumper to look right again.

Hey chad is it best to switch a 1998 379 to a 389 spring (single leaf stock) then do like a house of air. Or stick with the factory. 98 axle with a kit? How much lower will it go? I run 24.5 but for some reason my 98 was ordered with stud pilot which is weird so I’d be updating to a budd wheel also. Hopefully your at wildwood I’ll stop and chat

You can switch to a 389 spring, but it isn't as easy as you think. You will have to move the spring hanger back, and then also figure out what to do with the hood guides. That takes a little time, so I usually just leave the stock springs in unless the customer wants to spend the extra money. It doesn't get much lower, if any at all.

No it would not work, unless someone previously put the widebase parts in. The spindles and tierod bar is different.
