Good to know. What trans temps are you seeing and are you towing in 4 or D on these trips? Thank you. I have an OBD link that I use to monitor both trans temps (two temp sensors in the a750f).

Thank you for that answer. With the truck as it sits now, the transmission is hunting constantly on any grades and keeping the rpms between up in the 3-4k range with higher temps than I am comfortable with for any prolonged period. This is all while attempting to keep the vehicle between 60-65...

Thank you for the reply. Yes I am well aware of the plethora of gear calculators out there. I am looking for firsthand experience from owners of v8 runners who have re-geared and their personal experience and perspective on the matter. I know the 4.88 gear set will have the revs up when cruising...

Hello all, I am looking for some discussion regarding re-gearing my 08 v8. Currently does not have much added weight beyond wheels, tires, roof rack, family, and trip/recovery essentials. Will be adding skids, sliders, bumpers, winch… Running 285/70/17 Nitto Trail Grapplers (larger and heavier...

Thank you for the info Crikeymike Sounds like I may be hosed. I take it you would say this is unsafe to drive on then? As an addition to this. The manual states the rebound adjuster has 6 clicks per full rotation. Should you be able to feel these? Mine just spin freely/smoothly from full loose...

Thank you Crikeymike Is there a torque spec and procedure or just crank them down? I leave with the family on a long road trip tomorrow and will not be able to get back to the shop that did the install as they are out of town a bit.

Calling all Dobinsons gurus… ( Crikeymike ) Just had MRRs installed and am thinking maybe they need to be tightened more? The top hat bushing seems relatively uncompressed and the rebound adjuster is practically making contact with the wheel well. Any input based on this image? Can provide more...

Thanks Crikeymike Ready to pull the trigger just curious what you would recommend between the 325 and the 675v for the rear if not going with the long travel shock? Lots of wheeling and some towing in the 4k range. Want the best control in the rocks without sagging too much when loaded. With...

Crikeymike Thank you! I am aware of the extra parts required. I thought bare minimum to start was sway bar links, brake lines, and bump stops? The 675v works with the regular rear shock as well? Trying to get dialed before pulling the trigger. Looking for a slight rake to level as I load up...

Crikeymike I am looking at an IMS kit for a 2008 v8. Looking at the 314’s upfront and long travel with the 675v’s out back. Truck is all stock at the moment but will be getting wheels and tires (285/70r17) at the same time. Any suggestions one way or another here? Looking for as much...
