by far best at home install video

[@CaswellCustoms]

Thanks man!

[@PNW_z71]

in regards to cutting holes in the bed, do the instructions cover the locations of cuts? mine should be shipping out at the end of this month and i think thats what has me the most worried lol

[@CaswellCustoms]

Yes they do cover where to cut, but I ended up cutting more than they showed.

[@PNW_z71]

@@CaswellCustoms W for the quick response haha. Thanks! No modifying of the brake lines? No limit straps?

[@CaswellCustoms]

@rrimportracer I don’t remember having to modify the brake lines at all, and I don’t have limit straps at this time but I will be adding them.

[@edddddddddddddd]

This video is 3 years old! How you liking the cage and shock set? I’m looking to upgrade the rear and I’m in between a camburg cage and dirt king. Only difference I see is slightly more bed room with a camburg.

[@CaswellCustoms]

I love the dirt king setup, it’s worked great and with the mid shackle and hanger kit and their leaf spring top mount it all works together great!

[@edddddddddddddd]

Thank you for replying man! Sick truck and awesome videos! Definitely a fan!

[@CaswellCustoms]

@@eddddddddddddddabsolutely and I appreciate it thank you! The engine rebuild, and front long travel along with the turbo and Holley terminator X max system is gonna make this truck a monster again soon!

[@edddddddddddddd]

Can’t wait to see it bro keep it up my man

[@lilsniff4708]

Great detailed video love it

[@cesarleon8851]

I work front gate man I love the content!!

[@CaswellCustoms]

Thank you we appreciate the support!!

[@tonya9614]

Always more to do, great video!

[@CaswellCustoms]

Never ending project!

[@westmade777]

Awesome 👏🏻.

[@osmarmexicano1343]

Do instructions say where exactly tabs should be welded at?

[@CaswellCustoms]

Yes they do

[@drxppzz3699]

Are the deavers u182’s?

[@CaswellCustoms]

Yes they are.

[@Cacho_75]

How long did the install take you for the bed cage itself, deavers, shackles, and shocks? I’m going to be tackling this soon. I already have the mounting brackets for the cage welded on, as well as rear fenders installed which will come off for easier access. I do like how you removed entire bed. Would you recommend that simply for deavers and king travel shackles? Or is having the bedsides removed enough space to work with? Any information is appreciated. Thank you.

[@CaswellCustoms]

Removing the bed made the entire project that much easier, I highly recommend doing it. And it took us a full Saturday and a full Sunday and then we did some prep work Friday night. So basically an entire weekend.

[@flawlessvictory_yt7941]

Is there any way to do it without welding? Also do you need to cut through the wheel wells or can I avoid that somehow

[@CaswellCustoms]

No there is not and you have to remove areas of the bed or the bed entirely to run your shocks.

[@Futurebeefcake]

if you compare prices i would assume the ranchos wouldnt hold to jumping since they are only like $100 per shock vs $2-4k

[@CaswellCustoms]

Oh I don’t expect them to perform even 10% as good, but I would expect them to not be blown out after only 10 months of use

[@Futurebeefcake]

@@CaswellCustoms ahh okay understandable,wasnt sure what your intent was,makes sense now.

[@a-train4854]

Awesome video as always! 👌🏼 what’s next?

[@CaswellCustoms]

A -Train a long list of parts that have been piling up in my room! Gotta get my rear dual disk brakes with hand brake installed!

[@seanmadilly613]

What was the suspension on it before. Standard lift kit? How high?

[@CaswellCustoms]

All I had before was an add a leaf and shocks from a 2500 in the rear.

[@carlchambleeii2804]

How does it ride how much travel did you get out of it?

[@CaswellCustoms]

It rides incredibly smooth, and I've jumped the truck and taking it through some whooped out areas. I don't have the exact travel numbers, but if you pair it with Dirt Kings front long travel kit it'll be a perfectly balanced truck.

[@carlchambleeii2804]

@@CaswellCustoms I was thinking jd fab front end but I guess as long as the shocks are the same it’s really just price point between kits and 4x4 is a must for me thanks!

[@CaswellCustoms]

Ya I’m staying 4x4 but I’m going with Mazzulas front end kit because I already have my front King and it’s different than the one Dirtking runs. It has less travel but it’s the option I’m stuck with at this point.

[@THETERPZ]

Never knew bypasses came with nitrogen. If the came collapsed in the box, they are not.

[@CaswellCustoms]

Ya I was completely wrong on that! 😂

[@chrisanaya6295]

Why not clean that rust and paint it being your in the northern area

[@CaswellCustoms]

I had just painted it a few weeks prior when I did the fiberglass, and I had to finish this over that weekend for our schedule so I did t have the time to grind down all the rust and full paint the frame.

Downhiller huh ?
