    I bought from DSM and no extra charge for the tune...Sonny was great to work with. Ben at Filthy Motorsports is super helpful too and they’ll tune for you at no extra charge also.

    When you say heavy do you mean you requested them too stiff or requested them too soft? That'd be my worry is I would ask for soft and they would be way too soft.

    I set a personal record on the way to the keys for MPG's and not in a good way. F250 + 37" tires + 24ft boat + 5 people and luggage @75mph = 8.3MPG... for 1200 miles

    You should be able to give them the specs of your truck like weight, lift, spring rate etc and then they'll give you a range of valving and you choose. Now that range is usually very small. This was my experience in dealing with Bilstein when I ran custom coilovers from them on other vehicles.

    Possibly to stiff. By just a little.

    I went Stage 3 front and Stage 2 rear. It's largely comparable to stock and basic white body just driving normally.

    But so much less sway pulling out of the driveway. More control over big bumps and turns.

    I'm giving it time to settle and loosen up before really debating any changes. I'm extremely happy currently.

    His stages are described in the text at https://www.thurenfabrication.com/p...nsion-systems/king-2-5-systems/2014-2500.html

    Adrian is pretty good. He talked to me even though my shocks are second hand. Decent response time and very helpful. I plan to rebuild mine when the time comes.

    I heard somewhere that the valving for icons only gives you two options? I think when I rebuild I might go softer but that depends on what the rear rides like after I take the expos out and put the AAL in this weekend.
