  • It's fine to make cosmetic or comfort modifications to your vehicle, but it's also really important not to neglect the things that keep you safe on the road, particularly when you're carrying a heavy load.

    Great video Matt. Following with interest to see how the Formula shocks will perform. They seems to be highly popular in Aus.

    I was actually quite surprised to see they re-used your leaf spring U bolts. That is generally considered a huge no- no regardless of their condition or age. The new brakes and shocks should make for a much better experience on your future trips.👍

      @@ToreDL87 You must not be watching many of his videos. He has a ton of miles on that truck now. No spring shop here would EVER re-use previously torquesdspring shackle bolts.

    Dis you consider the Terrain Tamer brake upgrade?
    Will you be traveling with spare brake pads considering you can't fit standard pads anymore?

      Howzit Chris. I just made the switch from BFGs to Grabber ATXs and i'm very impressed. Very quiet on the road and the traction is great.

      Yip, I’m also happy with mine. It seems the rubber compound isn’t as prone to chipping chunks off as the BFs. No issues so far.
