i forgot to mention, the only "mods" i've done to the truck is replace the plugs, install cai, added dual exhaust.

 

i have a flip on mine which is a 05 his body style and no c notch, does it hit? yes but very very rarely, now on your body style if you drop it 6" you need a c notch but a flip only drops it 5........so not so silly if you ask me, why cut and weaken the frame if you dont have to?

 

so gettin back on track to the original question and away from BUYING KITS. my friend said to take the leaf springs off and flip them. 'IS IT TRUE AND IS IT BAD?'. thats all i asked, if it was true. funny how ppl want to make immature comments about somethin that doesnt even affect them.

 

Can't you express yourself at all without foul language? I feel sorry for you. It looks like you have been warned once by a mod, I'd advise you not to push it.

 

Just in case you really feel that your lousy attitude isn't what took this thread down the crapper, let me remind you what your title is:

2008 4.2l XL single cab piece of ****

'nuff said.

 

Flip the springs and your axle will always be sitting on the bumpstops. Get some lowering shackles for a 2 or 3" drop or look to specific lowering leaf springs.

 

 

Your young, you probably drive it harder than it wants, gotta hear the intake and exhaust. Even if you DONT which who knows, the mods dont help when you take it to a dealer.

Never heard of another 2008 having all these problems.

Your downing your own truck man. I answered all your questions so far in this thread.

 

True, most people dont stop at 5 though

 

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha......

Try owning a 2005 then come talk to me about known issues

 

sell your truck out right if you hate it so much. if it such a terrible truck, sell it for what you think it's "worth" and someone will get a good deal on a good truck.

now that thats out of the way, drop the truck with a kit, if you flip your leafs and ride on bumpstops all day, you'll be whining and griping even more than you are right now. do it right the first time, and with a quality product, and you'll be happy with the outcome

 

^^ What he said, do it right or you'll regret it later. Suspension mods often require drive-line and steering changes too, so kits are the right way to go.

My dad co-signed a loan for my first vehicle back in '78 and I am eternally grateful. I maintained the car well, but drove it hard and did cause damage (a common folly of youth). I paid for the repairs and learned valuable lessons. I never heard of any machine that didn't have issues at one time or another. The more radical the modifications, the more likely problems will occur.

 

Is this the same kid that said that his 4.2 sounds better than all 4.6's?

 

The very same.
