Greg, Do the Daystar cradles. I want to see how it's done! The cradles are designed so that the airbag no longer connects to the axle. It just floats. That allows the axle to drop fully when the suspension is at full droop.
drive it a couple days; that leaf pack will settle. then try your airbags again. betcha it settles down so they'll fit (or real close to it). geometry with the truck off the jackstands doesn't, for some reason, equal geometry with the truck on the ground. had the same problem when i lowered the rear of my Resistol and installed CalTracs. took a day or so of driving for the leaf pack and shackle to settle back to their happy place... then the CalTrac bars and airbags fit right in.
I love all the trucks on this channel, but soooooo happy you've decided to make the 08 a mean, tough truck. Forces and 420's are nice, but sometimes some lift and aggressive tread is nice.
How is your airbag set up? On this truck and the dually? Is either truck able to be dropped and raised by the airbags or they just support for heavy weight? And how are they mounted I’d like to do a bag set up on my dually . Thank Greg!
hey dude if those are fire stone ride rites idk if you you im sure you do but they're lifetime warranty if the middle girdle band is rusting out like it looks theyll send you new ones
I have a 6” lift on my truck. Just got the same size spacer for the airbags and they bolt right in. I love the dually but I think the 08 just became my favorite truck 😍
Question. Could you do a video on settling up the mm3 for monitoring and best things to monitor and setting the parameters. For instance. I'm monitoring ECT (engine coolant temp) and with the out of the box default values. 195 degrees is showing in the red. So I gotta adjust that parameter but to what so I'll be monitoring ECT accurately. Thanks
They dont come with them i had to buy them separate for the firestone bags ....i just got my order in hoodie and shirt diesel can! They both fit awesome and look good!!
Got rid of my 06 Ram 2500, and bought a 1500 with a “Hemi.” Biggest mistake ever. Now I just live vicariously through Greg A! Keep up the good work sir!
OH YEAH GREG... for real LMBO!!!😂😂 NO WAY YOU WERE GONNA JUST SLIP THOSE IN😂😂😂 Props to Alley for dropping off the impact and puttin' up with your workaholic ADHD BUTT!!! What up NO BOOST!
Greg. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Learning a lot!!! On deleting.... have you ever had ANY issues after deleting? I'm on the fence but seriously leaning towards deleting soon as I HATE the thought of pumping any more soot into my motor! I just am VERY cautious as to me messing with the CPU scares the hell out of me lol!! My plan is to go through HPP and ez lynk... thank you!!!
Awesome awesome video Greg A, what a sweet leaf pack from Thurn, I’m sure if they’re like anything else they make the performance factor will be flawless lol. A d dammit No Boost you’re almost a stranger now lol, now if we can get ol Mr. Send it to stop by lol.
Anyone on here had a Firestone airbag system stop working? I'm guessing the motor went out on it but the truck had 75k miles and I doubt the airbags had been installed that long.
My dad has the complete Firestone setup and every now then he has to tap on the housing of the compressor to get it a little jump start. Otherwise his has been functional since 05 and is flawless. Hope this helped.
@@justinlienhoop4478 sadly no lol I've tapped the compressor a couple times and nothing. It came on the truck when I got it at 44k miles and died at about 75.
You need the Daystar cradles if not you can rip the bags with that much travel or at least they won’t let you get the full benifet fog long travel the Daystar is actually a cup and the bags float above it until you add air
You should redo the towing test of the big trailer now that you have a completely different suspension and tire setup! I would definitely love to see the difference between a smaller tire vs a bigger tire with a lift!
Not sure if it was the angle of the camera but it kinda looks like the rear axle sits farther back now? Did the springs get installed in the right direction? Other wise it looks good man!
I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 Cummins. I’m trying to get a good set of headlights and fog lights. Any suggestions. Was thinking about led with smoked lenses
Don't get cheap LEDs, make sure you get ones with good reviews, as for headlights, it's your choice just don't get a cheap quality that allows moisture in.
i have always, will have Cummins in my life. i would have no hesitation in driving anyone of the trucks. Sally, 1 Gen, 08, 05 but hands down the 08 hits home it practical, work truck, long bed, 6 speed, it is the definition off all American all around AMERICA 💪 #wrenchworkzfaithful
Good to see no boost but would really like to see Johnny sendit or at least let us know why you guys aren't talking anymore, when all you guys were helping each other and working on scrap truck the banter was brilliant hope you guys can sort it out and start playing with the trucks together again
All the money spent on those spring stacks and he uses old u bolts? I know its been done time and time again, but there are better places to save a buck.
Great job on the O8 Greg!! Now get back on & finish the 1st Gen. I miss the old gal & I don't think I am the only one that miss her so please I know you can't rush Perfection but come on bye love ya bye.
For the airbags. Get a piece of square tubing and fabricate yourself amount under the airbag. That will raise it and give you the height. Awesome video though.
I didn't think I could love that truck anymore then you did that..... DAMN I love that truck
Awesome setup 👍🏼 love the height
Greg, Do the Daystar cradles. I want to see how it's done! The cradles are designed so that the airbag no longer connects to the axle. It just floats. That allows the axle to drop fully when the suspension is at full droop.
Make sure your traction bars have enough adjustment to fit with the lift before powder coating 👌
Looks a lot better

curious to see how you like the ride , my dually rides like a tank .
I love all the trucks on this channel, but soooooo happy you've decided to make the 08 a mean, tough truck. Forces and 420's are nice, but sometimes some lift and aggressive tread is nice.
Do the powder coating candy apple red
5:12 there’s more of them but thinner!
That’s what she said!!
WOW!!! NO BOOST!!!!!!! Hell yeah!!!!
8:23 besides being heavy, we manhandled that thing in there!
That’s what she said!!
That’s what she said!
Please cage the 05 I want to see how clean it can be done
The new rear leaf springs look great!
nice, remove one of those zero rate leafs (or both). and 18" of wheel travel......? i guess now you need some 18" shocks to match!
How is your airbag set up? On this truck and the dually? Is either truck able to be dropped and raised by the airbags or they just support for heavy weight? And how are they mounted I’d like to do a bag set up on my dually . Thank Greg!
Where did you get the rear wheel wells from
Yes Firestone kit did come with spacers.
Where did you get those headlights at
Those leafs kicked my ass as well
hey dude if those are fire stone ride rites idk if you you im sure you do but they're lifetime warranty if the middle girdle band is rusting out like it looks theyll send you new ones
Looks way better brother! Love the videos, keep up the good work

I’m 18 and work at a spring shop and this is killing me to watch U made this 10 times hard then it has to be
brendon duzan wow! An 18 year old that knows how things should be done! Very impressed over here!!
Great video. Got my new wrench works gear I ordered, awesome stuff
Interested to see how much the new leafs weigh in at VS the originals.
NO BOOST!!
I was about to write to ask if mister noboost is still alive !!! there it is !
still waiting for Johnny sendit
Awesome taste bro!
Turba Tom vs GA ????
Looks good cantvwait to see what u think of it
Jessie’s back now you gotta go see John I don’t know he got out of the hospital yet but he had back surgery he posted it on Instagram
Jessie!!!!
He needs to come back more often. Like once a month us reasonable right? Of every video.
What's next... weld the tailgate shut and put on neon underglows?
How about a update on Bert!! NO BOOST's rig
They dont come with them i had to buy them separate for the firestone bags ....i just got my order in hoodie and shirt diesel can! They both fit awesome and look good!!
truck looks awesome
Got rid of my 06 Ram 2500, and bought a 1500 with a “Hemi.” Biggest mistake ever. Now I just live vicariously through Greg A! Keep up the good work sir!
Well there’s one crew member the OG greg a squad. Now we just need a little Johnny sendit.
Jackson N. I was thinking the same thing
hes out of action I think hes had work on his back again
Thinner will be more compliant and flex more easily, hence why there are more in the pack
Looks awesome Greg. 👍👍
I just installed there fox 2.0s and damn are they awesome for the sand
Looks great Greg!
No Boost!!! You have been missed
It was good to see no boost...great job as always...keep grinding
Lookin tough!
i love that pig
Yeah, Jessie!! Sup, dude?
How do you like your Ridge Graps? My 35x12.50x22s are super noisey.
If you can hear your tires then your truck ain't loud enough
Carli long travel bags bolt on and are really nice
Looks good dude.👍👍
OH YEAH GREG... for real LMBO!!!😂😂 NO WAY YOU WERE GONNA JUST SLIP THOSE IN😂😂😂
Props to Alley for dropping off the impact and puttin' up with your workaholic ADHD BUTT!!! What up NO BOOST!
Looks right on now!! Nice!!
Greg. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Learning a lot!!!

Great to see no boost... We're Johnny?..
no boosts under the thumb and I think johns had work on his back again
@@kurtseyffert6649 ok... Great to know . Thx
No boost yay man glad to see ya need to come around more
Awesome awesome video Greg A, what a sweet leaf pack from Thurn, I’m sure if they’re like anything else they make the performance factor will be flawless lol. A d dammit No Boost you’re almost a stranger now lol, now if we can get ol Mr. Send it to stop by lol.
You might want the new leafs on the 18... should work if you have the air bags anyways.. right?? If the 08 rides smoother that is..
Quality as always Greg! 😎👍
Glad to see Mr No Boost is doing well ✌️😎

You should redo the towing test of the big trailer now that you have a completely different suspension and tire setup! I would definitely love to see the difference between a smaller tire vs a bigger tire with a lift!
You should do a before and after video to see if airbags hurt ride quality.
You the man Greg A
NoBoost appearance = *Immediate Like*
nothing better then seeing the 08 in the thumbnail
How does it claim to b softer but taller?
more leafs in the pack makes it high being thicker more lift. but they are thinner leafs so with weight they flex easier
So which is smother Sally Sadler bags or the 08?
Not sure if it was the angle of the camera but it kinda looks like the rear axle sits farther back now? Did the springs get installed in the right direction? Other wise it looks good man!
Need a OG reunion lol
No boost is back!
Could you do a video. Of you pumping up a tire with the boost of your truck idk I would try if I had a diesel
Jesse! About dam time!
Sorry greg but the video finally got better when he showed up lol
When I was your age, crawling under the truck was easy. These days, I need my two-post lift. Do yourself a favor and don’t wait any longer. Get one.
I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 Cummins. I’m trying to get a good set of headlights and fog lights. Any suggestions. Was thinking about led with smoked lenses
Don't get cheap LEDs, make sure you get ones with good reviews, as for headlights, it's your choice just don't get a cheap quality that allows moisture in.
You may want to take a look at air bag cradles by Daystar. They will help you out with the airbags.
I laughed
Wheres Johnny sendit?
hes out of action I think hes had work on his back again
@@kurtseyffert6649 well after gregs video Johnny was at Greg's first dino pull with the new engine but there was no footage Mr sendit
What brand brake rotors are those ?
Stoptech
have you considered going with a 4-link air suspension in the rear
I thought you have not dealt with long travel suspension ever before when you said you would not be removing the shocks lol
Love the rear suspension on your 08, I got all of my new Wrench Workz Merch in the mail perfect fit and couldn’t be more comfortable 👍
Greg I love the channel never been this early 2 mins after upload lol
i have always, will have Cummins in my life. i would have no hesitation in driving anyone of the trucks. Sally, 1 Gen, 08, 05 but hands down the 08 hits home it practical, work truck, long bed, 6 speed, it is the definition off all American all around AMERICA 💪 #wrenchworkzfaithful
Fuck yea.
Would ya just look at it!!! Looks mint Greg A.
great way to start the day
Yeah I kinda did. I’ve done a couple lifts and did the same thing
Good to see no boost but would really like to see Johnny sendit or at least let us know why you guys aren't talking anymore, when all you guys were helping each other and working on scrap truck the banter was brilliant hope you guys can sort it out and start playing with the trucks together again
NO BOOOOST BONADUCCCCE
I had to remove the 2 overload plates under the leaf pack to achieve a level suspension
Truck looks better Greg.👍
Time to hit the gym. To work on the trucks
All the money spent on those spring stacks and he uses old u bolts? I know its been done time and time again, but there are better places to save a buck.
Now The question is will no boost going with u to the callout
Great job on the O8 Greg!! Now get back on & finish the 1st Gen. I miss the old gal & I don't think I am the only one that miss her so please I know you can't rush Perfection but come on bye love ya bye.

Is Jessie Back or just a quick visit? You two were like peanut butter and jelly there at the beginning. Miss that a bit
