Keystone State Thread

Although I do run different shocks, premise is similar, especially that 6112s are adjustable (right?!). 650 lb springs should be quite enough for your setup. In your case, 700 lb springs would be an overkill, unless you were planing on adding a full bumper (120-150 lbs).
Are you still using anti-sway bar?

 

The 6112s are adjustable but only when you mount the springs. They have 6 positions and I'm running them at the highest compression (6) with the passenger set to (5) to compensate for the Taco lean. I still have the sway bar since it's my daily driver but interested in your thoughts on that - should I delete it?

 

I bought a DEKA factory second , there is a local guy near me that sells them . I think it was $80 and change .

 

Hmm, kinda forgot about how pita the adjustment was on those. There is a thread dedicated to 6112s, I'm sure there's info on perch height. (sorry, I now realize that I'm not being a big help here).
As for anti-sway bar, I vote to keep it on DD. Of course you can experiment remove it and see if you like it or not.
That being said, I removed mine while chasing strange knocks when I had 650 lb coils. With my full bumper, winch, skids, sliders and bigger battery, I didn't like handling AT ALL, so after a while I upgraded to 700 lb ones, and it helped A LOT! Now, not to knock on 6112s, I'm not sure how well would they handle riding without anti-sway bar.

 

this is my first deka second , hope it lasts !

 

I’m in Macungie... where is your guy?

 

Don't leave your cooler out.

I have done well with the batteries from Costco. Decent price too if you already have a membership.

 

Walmart also carries deka... rebadged.... the battery tops have 2 vents at the top of them and should say “east penn” on the label somewhere... I think

 

What if I have my kids in the truck bed under the camper shell with the screen windows open? Are there so many bears there that I did worry about them trying to break into the truck for food since that's where people might stick their food?

 

Keep your food locked up, with no access For the bears, and you’ll be fine. They don’t want to mess with you more than you do them.

I lock my cooler in the truck at night with no issues. I’d be worried about raccoons more than bears.

keep the site clean and don’t throw food scraps in the woods around you helps as well.

 

I've never heard of the bears breaking into vehicles there like they do in the National Parks. They can and do get into coolers that are left out. I would put the cooler in the back seat when the kids are sleeping in the bed. The bears usually scar off easily as do the racoons. Don't leave your trash bags out either.

What section are you camping?

 

30 pack of labatt blue.... should be set for a couple days... gotta work tomorrow. Might creep up pretty fast if I don’t watch what I’m doing ;-) such a nice night out there. Trying to scavenge the fridge for a bite to eat!!

 

Love the truck brotha!

 

Oops... newb.... my bad

 

Ivan Stewart scheme?? Bringing back them memories

 

Clean, lots of attention to detail -- nice ride!

 

Body lift? Suspension ?

 

Gotcha... how long has it been like this?

 

Fine tuning.... iv learned that once I think I got something where I want it... it’s still never good enough.... kids helped with this....Now I don’t mod much at this point in life.
