It does sit just about perfect with the 1.5 in lift from the higher capacity springs. Did you keep the stock tire size? p.s. I love your storage box, been thinking about redesigning my flat bed to incorporate something similar

Good call, added those to the list and updated totals in my previous post for the sake of providing complete info

Definitely appreciate you chiming in IdaSHO, it’s good to see options and hopefully this info will help other folks deciding on suspension upgrades. My truck is equipped with the same factory spring options (VVFF) and I did consider going with a budget option from General or SD truck springs...

Yeah… ford likes to make their stock springs thicccc

Good to hear all the good experiences with Alcan. They were super responsive when I sent in for a quote. Yep, I’m in AK so I’ll have to have them shipped which is always expensive but im getting used to it. I’m a Colorado native (grew up in Aurora, went to school in ft Collins) so I really like...

Awesome, that’s cool you’re running the exact setup I’m looking at. Did you get the u bolt plate from alcan as well? I guess it relocates the bump stop tang when you do away with the factory lift block ( which I plan to do as well). Good to hear about good experiences with alcan, they make...

I’m going to upgrade the suspension on my F-250 to handle the camper weight better and improve the ride. Current plan is Carli 2 in coils in the front and custom fox 2.5 in resi shocks from Accutune on all 4 corners. I’m going to order a full spring pack for the rear and im trying to decide to...

I’ve been a Toyota guy since I started driving ( 81 trekker, 92 land cruiser, 94 4runner, 02 sequoia) and I ran into the same payload issue when it came time to pick a vehicle to haul the camper I ordered. I knew I didn’t want the weight or cost of a diesel so i settled on the F-250 with the...

Yeah I can see how my wording was confusing. No, I did not end up going with alumaline because of the long lead time. If you look a couple posts up you’ll see the bed I had built by a local shop. I did talk with alumaline a fair amount and I talked with a few people who had beds built by them...

The only American tray manufacturer I found that makes a custom aluminum bed for a decent price is Alumaline. I talked with them before I had my bed built and they were pretty easy to work with, but they were swamped and had a 12-14 week lead time. That was back in March so maybe the wait time...

Forgot to add the cost for the flat bed was approx $4.1k plus the boxes and paint so probably all in about $4.5k. That’s a bit more than some of the budget beds like cm or aluma, but I got the dimensions and specs I wanted and the quality is far better. The price is also a far cry from the sums...

Here’s another aluminum option from Canada and they ship to the US. https://tradelitealuminum.ca/ I tried buying a flat bed in March, but like like every other piece of equipment. there was a shortage and 18 week wait times. So I found a local fabricator and we designed a bed that fit my...

I wrestled with this question a couple years ago as we planned our build. Our plan was to finish up work last fall and start a year of travel in central/South America so that’s the scenario we based our choices on. We went to two overland expos and looked at a lot of campers. We ended up going...

THnaks, I listed it low here because I was hoping it would go to an expo member who would appreciate it. I listed it locally for more and it just sold for what I listed it for. I’d didn’t think a sequoia with crappy paint would be in high demand, but it went quick with a lot of interest.

SOLD I ordered a truck camper so I have to get a truck to put it on and so the sequoia has to find a new home. I've owned this truck since 2017 and have upgraded the suspension, brakes and electrical system in order to enhance our camping trips. This was a third vehicle and was used primarily...

It went quick! Sold

I have an Alu-cab fridge slide that’s never been installed. It’s meant for small to medium fridges. I picked it up a year ago but ended up going with a larger fridge. Its basically new with a couple of minor marks in the tray from test fitting a fridge. See the link below for specification...
