I made this and have it installed on the roof rib just behind our heads.
Printed with ASA (not really dialed in well), it uses 6 LED "bolts":
4 3W white LEDs, triggered by either manual switch on dash for ON-OFF-SWITCHED from door switches.
2 3W red LEDs, power relay switched from headlights...
Are you planning on running the EGR? Or are you using the EGR blockoff plate? I think the shorter one would be more than sufficient - I can't recall which one I had.
I'm not sure what problem you're chasing, but in my case, I just run the LR HD springs and my truck is completely leveled out, even with all of my kit on the roof, and setup to hit the road for 1.5 months.
I drove up to NH to work on my race car with my codriver and had the joy of white-knuckling it back in the first snowstorm of the year with poorly plowed/salted roads. There were no less than 40 accidents along my route, including someone who spun 180, smashed into a wall, and ripped off two of...
Blackstone folks individually write the reports for sure. When I was racing regularly, I would send them an oil sample after every race, as well as a separate sample from my vented catch can. The first time I did this, I got a huge report back regarding the catch can sample and were really...
They can be. The basic problem is that the front legs of the hitch have 3-4mm of gap between it and the frame, so tightening the bolts down strong puts a huge amount of tension on the head of the bolt. Even though they're 8.8, it's not ideal. And it's a royal pain in the ass to try to do stacked...
I added a 2" receiver hitch since we're considering an Opus trailer in the not-to-distant future. I still need to figure out a few things:
1. the best way to handle a 7-pin connector for a trailer
2. a brake controller and
3. whether I want to add a few shims/spacers to better support the gap...
Even galvanized can be cleaned up (properly), welded, and then spot-coated with the right etching primer and cold galv spray. Nowhere near as good as the hot dipped, but better than nothing.
The real answer is keep the two bulkheads side by side and cut/modify/weld in as necessary. I did this When I swapped by '88 unit over to a much more modern unit.
Anything can be addressed with a welder and some sheet steel ;)
