Congrats on the new truck! Try stanadyne for the fuel conditioner. It's approved by ford GM and dodge, GCL diesel sells it in calgary, not sure where else it's sold. Use te performance formula with the blue label.

Have you tried these?


On their way. Neighbour put them on his lifted Ford front and back (has front leafs) and it made a HUGE difference. Started asking around and talking to other users. Along with a better shock like Bilstein, it really improves the ride.

Thanks. Let me know how you like them.

Will do. Bilsteins alone really mellowed the ride a fair bit. Sulastics will take out the little hits. Place i got them from said they sell a ton of them, mostly to Chev owners for some reason.

I just bought 2012 f350 a few month ago. i have 10000kms on it so far and its been good. the only thing is did was rear air bags, a hellwig heavy duty rear sway bar and some rigid LED lights. Its not as smooth as my duramax but for a one ton i think its pretty good. Might try some biltstin 5100's and see if that will soften it up just a bit.

Did you put the air bags on just to get rid of sag when loaded? I'm curious on how much mine will squat with 2500 on the back.

Ya i just have them to level the truck out with the sled deck and make it more stable. Although the f350 being two inches hire on the back than the 350 I probably could have got away with out them but i like to be a little over kill when it comes to hauling and towing trailers.

My heaviest load will be carrying my rzr and towing my trailer so I'm curious how much it will sag. My 250 had air bags to level things out but I was hoping this one wouldn't need them.

I brought my 40' toyhauler home the other day with my '11 ford dually. It only squatted
An inch or two. I was concerned that there would be enough tongue weight to hail out the ass end of my truck, but im not going to bother with bags....it rides great.

Itll sag a bit i tow a 27 ft trailer and with a full tidy tank and trailer full of water it was sitting pretty low but its the cornering that i like the airbags for it dont lean much with 30-50 psi in them plus it dont look like im over loaded

Thanks for the pic. Got one with the trailer hooked up? I am going to try without bags at first to see how it works.

Do you have the controller? If so, any pics of where you mounted it?

Thanks. I heard something about a few people complaining about a shudder when towing heavy loads. I don't think it was transmission related though. Sounded more like axle wrap under heavy loads.
