Talk about a case of CRS (can't remember shit)! I did read that post a while back and forgot. And sorry for necroposting a year old thread too. Thanks for the tip to disregard the "notes".
Well it's finally time to replace my main battery. I did the fuse trick a couple months ago when the aux battery died but still getting the "aux switches unavailable" message at startup. Wife couldn't start it this morning but I think the battery in her fob is dead because mine worked fine...
I installed AAL inner fenders after my stock ones melted away from rubbing the tires. I did exactly what you are thinking and simply cut away the lower portion where the new inner fenders mount and left the upper parts under the fender.
35s were fine with the 2.5" lift and JL AEV wheels. Every now and then, they would barely touch the lower control arms. I didn't even notice until I installed the 37s and saw the very light witness marks on the arms. With the 37s, I had to install 1.25" spacers to eliminate the rubbing. 1.25"...
Just saw your question. Unloaded, it is a bit stiffer and body roll is less. I think it's going to depend how much weight you run naturally unloaded. For example, my Jeep is on the porky side even unloaded. It's a diesel, I have metal bumpers, SOT top, 37" spare and the Teraflex hinge and mount...
I'm not Clayton but that is my red Jeep in the post a couple above yours. Not only was I loaded down in that pic, I also towed my utility trailer with two dirt bikes and other crap on it. I'd say my tongue weight was around 250lbs or so. The HD springs were great! Inside my Jeep, I had a fully...
Been that way on mine for a couple years now! There are pics somwhere. I'll see if I can post another.
IMO, it really pops when you have a couple other yellow accents to go with it.
dirty pic but you get the idea!
A class action suit was just certified for GMs that use the same pump.

I ran AEV Borahs with 35' and 2.5" lift with no poke. I have a Rubicon though with the wider axles. With your narrower Sarah axles, you might be rubbing your lower control arms with 35s.
I'm now on 37s and needed wheel spacers to fix the rubbing that came with the larger tires.
Clayton does not make their own springs. They do the same as everyone else and contract it out. Best bet is to pull the springs and compare/measure them. Sorry to hear you're having issues with them. Clayton is a solid company.
Pretty much this. Stay out of boost! The turbos on these are also water cooled. When you build boost, you create a lot of heat that gets dumped right into the coolant which is why you see rapid coolant temp spikes. Keep your boost low and EGTs down.
I've reached out to Banks as well about this...
I don't know about best but I do know I love mine. I'm a diesel lover though so there's that. I had a 2005 6.0. I know all too well about those problems. Ended up lemon lawing mine at 18k miles. It went through 2 turbos, 8 injectors, 3 EGR valves, a couple of exhaust back pressure sensors and...
