why 2500hd? wouldn't it be better to run shocks that were specifically designed for you truck? or were you just looking for the added stiffness?

I got the idea from someone else. Stiffness was the goal. I am going softer when I need to replace them.

Me personally I like trick perf exhaust through 4" straight diesel muffler.

sound can be heard below.

This "exhaust" will kill rear ends transmissions and on non forged engines too much boost will kill the engine.

I hate flomaster. magnaflo is better. If you are not going turbo get some pacesetter long tubes and catless y pipe or dynatech longtubes with cats and then go from there.
