Turbo/Injector upgrade (Heavy Towing) Shoutout to Me78569
Are you running wire tapped. I hit 1100 quick then that's about the roof. I can run grades with my foot on the floor t about 2000 rpm feels and sound like it hold the trajectory with no asphalt needed. If your hot and the quads running my thiughtvwould be to shut it off . Tune from factory base line then bring in just quad timming then maybe alittle fuel if it stays cool

T steering upgrade or no?
I think the good steering started in 2008.5 Should be bolt on from 2002 up no drilling. Toss steering stabalizer in trash. When more castor is needed just coax it with force. I have 2" lift and control arms for 3" lift also fabbed a adjustable track bar doing away with the tierod frame side and running heims and both ends. I do not like the castor washers they get in the way. Adjust lowers or uppers or both would be preferred I'm running stryker arms off ebay. The set of 4 was less than 200 for longer arms . In hindsight I wish I'd orderd arms for 6" lift instead of 3". You can find fabbed adjustable arks for 200-250 for just the lower pair. But youl have to look in the offroad world. And be ready with measurements to have them fabbed. Good luck

See the opportunity. To grab a few more deg castor
With the rear axle chained it was easy. Immediate improvement. I'm going to build arms now that I've done a few track bars and jeep arms. First I can chuck the castor shims to get alittle more.

I cant resist beating the crap out of a muffler
Remodel additions suck. I may have spent 9 years of a former life with a framing hammer in hand. Sometimes I'd like to go back but I could never hit the nail without hitting my hand first ;)

Yet another injector and turbo question
I've got ducky 7x009 sacs. They've got around 100k on them maybe more. I feel they've done pretty good. Great customer service from ducky to. I'll get on the boat and try 150s maybe 175 just to be different 62 65 14 Borg feed them.

Built 47re for towing
Do you know who actually makes the goerend one or is it actually them making it. Not that it matters just for curiosity sake. What bolts do you use. I ended up cutting some to length for mine. I remember short seemed to short and longer seemed to long. Converter to flexplate bolts.

I keep hearing how this turbo may be laggy . Yanking equipment trailer at 18k it builds at the same rate I push the pedal. I have smarty on 9 tm3 timing 4 duration 3. I am slightly worried about timing on 4 but it doesn't seem to be problem. I actually used to change timing to stock when I towed but decided to run it. Smoke isnt horrible much better than timing at stock. Just thought I'd share incase otheres on the fence . Turbo has been one my best mods. It flat just works I could do without the smarty and be happy Cool egts and getting decent fuel mileage Now I need moose mirrors like mike.

New used truck maybe wrong fit for application need advice
Your definitely putting her to work. My first thought was ya maybe but then I got to thinking gravel rds tear stuff up. Our big truck has broken ujoints suspension bushings metal fatigues and tears. I've ripped wheels off on the bolt pattern Then I got to thinking a ton probably has greaseable light duty u joints. It does have cheesey sway bar links The trcks taking a beating for sure. The trailer should also show signs of taking the same abuse, cracked welds bushings beat through or wearing flat if solid or heavy walled We see this kind of wear running pavement at 32k gross with our pickups and goosekneck I don't honestly know that a bigger truck will survive any better it had more weight more tourge to beat itself apart even more. We did a job almost 100 miles deep in the Nevada desert. 4 truck and pups hauling material. It was a nightmare washboard knocking them out daily. Nothing worse than 1 truck making it the first day. Dirt it's a harsh world to travel heavy

Still truckn
Snows usually burned off by July. I couldn't imagine driving with my left hand and left foot. Shifting is done with throttle I haven't really learned to use the clutch yet.

Coil size
Mine might squat alittle less with 1ton springs. I think the nose 5" lower looks horrid.

Built 47re for towing
I thought dynamic used a goerend flex plate. Either way I would not invest in transmission and put the stock flexplate back in. I did the goerend billett myswell bolt billett to billett

I don't know what the car is. I'd love to swing a hammer instead of dirt work.

Coil size
I have no idea. A factory style but adjustable. Dodge offroad I think makes one. Carly stuff cost to much. At 2" you can get by with a stock length to. https://store.dodgeoffroad.com/2nd-Gen-Trucks-1994-2002_c_47.html The dodge offroad bracket might retain the factory track bar angle. I'm just looking at photos of it with nothing to confirm that. It also moves the bar forward wich means it can locate the bar beside the factor track bar tie rod mount beside it instead of under it. Wich could retain the angle. Still no confirmation on this.

Coil size
I'd suggest not doing a 3ed gen set up. Youl tune bumpsteer into the steering. I run 2" coil spacer in my front with no complaints. My truck works to. I'm a recent believer in fox shocks. Do your research on the truck bar set up.i could be wrong. Track bar and drag link must be at the same angle. The bracket to convert framecside to bushing will lower it putting it at less angle than the drag link creating bump steer. Research.
