Got the rear shocks revalved and finally did a test run. Comp is way better and the rebound is more controlled.

There are a couple things I want to try, but....I'm skeered to commit.
First: I have 14" triple bypasses I'd like to stuff in the back, and I extensively cycled it this last go-round to see if it would work, but I pussed out. Pretty sure I would have to cut into the cab for the upper shock mounts.
Second: I have a shift kit I want to try and do to the trans, which requires pulling the valve body out and apart, drilling some holes and upgrading springs, but I'm skeered....
Thirdly: I just got some URD goodies in the mail to try my hand at tuning.....
We'll see how skeered of that process I get....

I have the URD universal maf calibrator with a map preinstalled along with Yotawerx v8 tuner installed. Results are pretty good!
Be curious to see how the transmission shift kit will go. Any idea on what advantages a shift kit will do?

@ Chad30
installed one in his trans and says the shifting has more bite to it now. I would like 1st-2nd and 2nd-3rd to be a ground pounder. It still boggs down a little in certain situations. Probably needs a lower gear too, but I want hwy ability also.
Since I have done so many engine upgrades already, Gadget just loaded the stock map. He doesn't have anything close to what I'm running. I would love for him to tune this thing but URD is 900 miles away.
Did we discuss the Yotawerx or something similar awhile back? I didn't think they had a non-vvt-i map available yet.

Sorry my friend, I just now ran across your post smh.
It's a Ratiotek part# RT-A750E-HD
I was also advised to change the Pressure Regulator Boost Valve with a "TransGo" version.

Working on my heimlich maneuver.
Need a few more * caster.
Adjusted it once, drove to the tire shop and put it on the rack, still not enough.
Cracked em open and put a couple more twists on them.
Back to the tire shop 8am. I can feel the difference already, steering wheel input is lighter now.

Looks like a lot of work to make changes vs say, SPC.

Probably is, never even seen an SPC. Wouldn't have a clue how to adjust those.
This didn't take too long. I've got the removal/install of the uca bolt down to a few a minutes. Nothing else has to be removed except the tires.

Found some GX spindles awhile back. Rusted up pretty good, so they were cheap.
Gonna try to weld up some gussets. Need to spend an hour practicing on some scrap, cause I suck at welding lol.
