(upbeat music)
- It's been four minutes
and people are already asking where Fuller is.
- Oh my gosh, here we go.
- We knew this was gonna happen.
- We did. What are we eating?
Toppers, we're eating toppers.
Toppers, lots of Mozza pizza,
check this out.
Ready for this?
Boom.
- [Keaton] You guys already ate a half of it.
- Well, we didn't eat it on our--
- Yeah, we're hungry.
- Yeah, man, we work hard.
- We've been waiting for you to figure out the cameras.
- Yeah, Keaton, come on.
- [Keaton] Oopsies.
(Dustin laughs)
- All right, we're just gonna let you guys filter in here.
- Give him a couple of minutes.
- If me sitting on a couch drinking beer
and eating pizza is not familiar to you,
you have not been here very long,
but if it does look familiar,
you know what a treat you are in for.
- We've probably grown quite a bit since then, though.
How many subscribers did we have, back when--
- I'm still the same height.
- The channel has probably grown since then.
- Oh, the channel. - How many subscribers
did we have back in the "Lift It Live" days.
- I don't know if we posted any.
We went live on Facebook back in those days,
- Oh, Lord.
- which apparently isn't a thing anymore.
No, you can still - I didn't even know that.
- go live on Facebook.
We just would rather go live
on Instagram and YouTube. - And YouTube.
- Yeah.
- Which YouTube? YouTube Live.
(Dustin laughs)
- Careful, your boomer is showing.
- Whoa, whoa.
(Dustin laughs)
I'm just trying to filter through the comments here.
- That's all right.
How many people we got?
- 71.
- Okay, that's not too bad.
- What you all got in the koozies?
We can't tell you.
- Good stuff.
- But it says "For the farmers",
and it looks like a corn cob.
- Yes. - So, use your imaginations.
Yes, guys, we miss Fuller too,
even though I see him every day.
I promise we'll have him back in videos too.
- Eventually.
- This is my series, I can do what I want.
- All right, I'm out.
See you later, it's been fun. (chuckles)
- What size lift is on the Ford behind you?
This guy must be new here.
(Dustin laughs)
- Well, I'll tell you what?
To find the answer to your question,
you're gonna wanna watch our drag race video,
which you can find on our YouTube channel.
Cool, they can hear us.
- Everybody can hear us?
- Let's do it.
- Everything's good?
- [Keaton] Everything's good.
- It is 6:11, we're a minute late.
- It's okay.
- It's your show, right?
- It's my show.
- I can do what I want. - That's true.
That's very true.
- Now, my nose is running because I ate nacho cheese.
- What?
- I don't know.
- Are you allergic to nacho cheese?
- No, but it got in the back of my throat.
So, thoughts on the new F150,
we have a whole video about that, actually.
- We have a whole video actually, it's really good.
- Yeah, the two of us together,
- Yeah.
- have a video about that.
- That's true.
- Should we tell them what we're doing?
- I mean, I'm sure they're probably wondering
why two dudes are--
- Sitting on a couch. - sitting on a couch,
in front of a truck. - talking to an iPad
Makes sense. - and a cell phone, actually.
- And a cell phone,
- Yeah.
- how you'd stream over here on a cell phone
- So, guys, if you have not been a subscriber
of Custom Offsets for very long,
this is something
that we used to do back in the day,
way before Dustin, before Fuller came along, before...
Well, I guess Shawn was in videos.
- Yeah.
- But we did this thing called "Lift It Live".
Brad, Jake, and I would sit down on the couch,
answer your questions about lift kits,
basically just generic shop talk.
And we thought, let's bring it back
because who doesn't wanna sit and drink beer,
eat pizza, and talk about trucks?
- Yeah.
- So, once a week, I think is the schedule now?
- Yep, every Thursday.
- Every Thursday, I will be coming to you live,
via hopefully not Keaton holding an iPad
(Dustin laughs)
- Yeah, here's to hoping.
- on YouTube and the Instagram.
We'll have some subjects to talk about.
- Yep.
- Today, we're just introducing to you guys
that we're coming back.
And then we will open up the second half
of the show for your questions.
I'll try to go through as many pertinent questions
as possible,
so, fitment, lift kit quality,
trucks in general,
anything you guys want to know,
pertaining to the shop end of things.
I'm not gonna tell you
why your wheels haven't shipped yet.
I'm not gonna...
I mean, I guess we could do giveaway updates, maybe?
- Yeah, we can do stuff like that.
Yeah, talk about that stuff a little bit.
- I'll have somebody new.
Mostly, it'll be Brad and I, not Dustin,
but Dustin is filling in tonight for you guys,
since you like him so much,
and he's like the nicest man with a beard, I believe,
is the consensus on the YouTube.
- Yeah, there was a comment that said
I was the second nicest man with a beard behind Santa Claus,
but then there was another man that said,
"Well, Santa Claus isn't real."
So, that makes me first.
- Right. - Either way.
- So, we've got Dustin here - Something like that,
I don't know.
- to make everybody feel good about themselves.
- Oh my god, stop it.
(Dustin and Banker laugh)
- I'm gonna get you a cardigan sweater.
- You know what?
I might wear it just for you.
- I wouldn't be opposed to it,
(Dustin laughs)
Jesus.
- to be completely honest.
- Well, that happened, that's on the internet now.
(Dustin laughs)
- You wearing a cardigan, I don't know.
- Yeah. - It's like Mr. Rogers.
You put on your nice shoes and your cardigan
- That's true.
- and sit down and tell us all the things that you love
about whatever product we're testing that day.
- Well, that's fair.
- This is my soft voice and I'm not very good at it.
- No, it's a little weird.
(Banker clears throat)
It's a wonder you have a girlfriend.
(Banker sighs)
- We're not even gonna get into that.
(Dustin laughs)
- Fair enough.
- So, that is the consensus of the show,
what we'll be doing.
So, we might as well open it up.
They are spamming us with Parker Fuller.
Guys, guys, Fuller quit.
It's okay, you're gonna survive.
We're still gonna bring you all the same content.
It'll just be different people.
So, instead of fuller making (squeak) up,
you're gonna hear us talking about stuff that we know.
It's okay, it's gonna be okay.
I promise, we're here to get you through it.
We'll hold your hand.
(Dustin laughs)
It's okay.
- You'd be a terrible guidance counselor,
I hope you know that.
- I know, dude, my kid, when he falls
I'm gonna be like, "Okay, don't do that again."
- "Rub some dirt in it, you'll be fine."
- "Yeah, you'll be fine."
- Yeah. - That's how I was raised.
- Yeah, correct.
So yeah, I imagine most people know you,
I would guess, right?
- I would hope most people know.
I have been here for a very, very long time.
- Literally, since almost the beginning.
- Literally, since the beginning.
- Yeah.
- Since before Fuller, since the camera was...
I don't even know who our camera guy was.
Did we have a camera guy?
I think we just set up a tripod and talked about stuff.
- Dude, I don't know, that was before my time.
- It was a long time ago.
I've been here a long time, I've been in select videos.
Not everybody likes my taste of,
what would you call it, honesty?
- Yeah, you're a very straightforward person,
and sometimes people don't like that.
- I'm not gonna lie to you guys.
People don't like it, but I'm not gonna lie to you.
That's why I have this show.
(Dustin laughs)
So, you can ask me about truck stuff,
and I can be honest with you about truck stuff.
- Yeah, yeah, that'll work, we'll figure it out.
- We'll figure it out as we go.
All right, so, Matthew Piper has a '15 F-150.
He's looking at a six-inch Rough Country, 22, 12s and 35s.
Will he need any trimming?
Yes sir, you will.
You will definitely be trimming the front bumper,
at least the valance,
and likely on the backside of the fender there.
Depends on it is an EcoBoost or not,
but you're more than likely
going to have to trim the intake
that sits down in the wheel wells
and lose some crash bars.
- Yeah, that's super common with those trucks,
just having to nip the crash bars,
usually anytime you got
bigger than stock wheels and tires.
- We have the man with the Santa comment.
is very happy that you saw his comment.
- Woo!
I did see it.
I believe I liked it, actually.
- Perfect. - I try to
go through all the comments
on the YouTube videos.
I try to interact with folks
just as much as I can.
- I do as well,
and then they try to start fights with me
in the comments because that's me, but...
- But if you'd be a little nicer to people.
- I can either be nice or I can be honest.
You guys gotta choose your poison here.
- You can't have both.
- John Horton, fourth-gen Ram, 24, 14s and 35s,
will it fit on a level with minor trimming?
John,
(Dustin laughs)
no, bro.
No. You might as well lose the front bumper.
- Just take the whole thing off, the bumper.
- Just take the whole thing off.
- Yeah, just remove it.
- And just fortify the back of the fender.
Honestly, you can see some stuff in the gallery.
Plug in those specs.
It'll show you what people have done.
I'm sure there's a couple out there that have done it.
You'll be able to see how they did it.
- You could find the gallery
at customoffsets.com/gallery, by the way.
- Right, correct. - In case you didn't know.
Just throwing that subtle little plug in there.
- So, I see one comment, "Is Wicked Manufacturing good?"
I will have you know that I pressed Brad
for probably three months to get Wicked on this site.
- You're talking suspension?
- Suspension product,
- yeah, the suspension brand. - Okay, 'cause I'm familiar
with Wicked Wheels,
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- which is new, by the way.
- Also new.
- Yeah.
- Well, Wicked is new to our site as a suspension brand.
I like them.
They make some really cool big lift kits
and some really stylized leveling kits.
- Yeah.
- So I'm a big fan of them, absolutely.
- Yeah, they make some decent stuff.
- Are Carli kits worth the price and ride?
If you can afford a Carli kit, absolutely.
Absolutely, hands down.
You wanna make something
with a straight axle ride good, Carli.
- Yeah. - It's the way to go.
What are some affordable OBS trucks?
I don't know. - Okay, listen.
- I think that's what he's asking.
- Hold on, I got hollered at about OBS though.
Rainee hollered at me this morning
because I referred to a square body as an OBS Chevy,
and you're not supposed to do that.
- Oh, yeah, no.
- "You can't do that." he said - You can't do that.
It's an OBS.
- '88 to '98, brother.
- I got hollered at.
- With select 25 and 3500s, venturing in up to 2001.
- Correct, because they did the classic thing,
which was weird.
- Yeah, buddy.
- Yeah, it was weird.
My first truck was a '92 GMC 1500 Extended Cab Short Box
with a 5.0 and a five-speed.
- '92 Silverado 1500 Regular Cab Short Box.
- Oh, a little guy. - 5.7.
- And I assume the auto that came with it?
- Automatic, yeah.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's the, what, 4L60?
The one that like it's the old...
- Possibly.
- What is it, second or third solenoid?
- Transmission never went out,
but I grenaded the rear end on it.
- Yeah, they did that too.
- Two-wheel-drive Ram 1500,
I wanna go bigger than the seven-inch CST,
which is the largest available
six-inch Rough Country three-inch body?
I hate putting body lifts on newer trucks.
There's so much drive by wire,
there's so many traction control modules,
that doing a body lift messes with.
I don't recommend doing it.
I'm not saying you can't,
I'm just saying I don't recommend it.
- Correct, it could be done,
but I think that's..
And you nailed it right there as well.
The point is that with newer trucks and so many electronics,
a lot of those harnesses
are not made to stretch three additional inches.
- Exactly.
- So, then you're trying to extend harnesses
and make sure you pin things out right.
It's just...
- And they've got sensors for everything.
- Correct.
- And now, your sensor is from here and up here,
and it's not in relation to suspension, doesn't work,
and it's just a can of worms.
Why do you not want to tell us where Fuller is?
- We just did.
- Guys, we told you, he quit.
He had an opportunity to do something
that he has been very passionate about,
so he took the opportunity.
- Correct, you should follow that up by saying,
it's not like he was just like, "I'm out."
- Right, this has been going on for a while.
- Correct.
- We're just finally coming in to releasing it to you guys.
- Correct.
- 'Cause, I mean, we could have just cut him out of videos,
and not told you anything.
Would that have made you feel better?
- We don't do that.
- '13 F150 five-liter with 37s, do you need to regear?
I'm gonna see what your answer is first.
- Do you? No.
Should you? Yes.
- Should you? Yes.
You absolutely don't need to.
If you wanna regain some power loss, yes, absolutely.
But be careful, you're gonna wanna regear
and tune it at the same time for the new gears,
because again, everything newer than like 2000
is reliant on computers.
- Correct.
- And if the TCM doesn't know what the rear end's doing,
your shift points are gonna be all screwed up.
- Oh, god. - So it's not just
the old way of throwing in some gears
for the weekend and going out on a rip.
- Split the old cover off the Dana 44,
and slap some new gears and then call it a day, huh?
It's not that simple anymore.
- So, okay, Dawson wants...
He's said this like a dozen times now,
he wants to buy a '97 Ford with a 7.3.
Is it worth it?
(Dustin sighs)
- All right, I'm gonna say this,
and it's gonna make a lot of people angry.
7.3 turbo-diesel Power Stroke
was a great truck in '97,
'96 when it came out, right?
'96, they went from the IDI
to the Power Stroke. - Yeah, '95, '96.
- Yeah, yeah.
Great truck at that point.
However, by today's standards, it's okay.
They're super reliable, but they drink fuel like a fish,
and they don't make that much power.
- Right, if you're just trying to pull stuff around,
- Yeah.
- absolutely.
- Yeah, if you're looking for something
that you can just throw a gooseneck behind,
haul stuff around, get five MPGs,
whether you're loaded or empty,
it's not gonna make a difference, absolutely.
But if you're looking for a daily driver
or even for a performance-oriented truck,
there are so many better options out there.
- Absolutely, absolutely.
I'm just trying to scroll through...
- And the bro tax on the 7.3s is crazy.
- Depends on where you are.
- That's true.
Up here, the bro tax on clean 7.3s is crazy.
- Yeah, you can try and find that.
- Yeah, especially a clean one.
Thank you, Rust Belt.
(Banker laughs)
- What do we got here?
Best 26-inch MT for my 26 by 14s?
Kind of depends on what size tire you can fit.
- I like the Fury's.
Fury makes
- Yeah.
- some great tires in that size range.
They're hard to find, 26-inch tires.
- Yeah, there's not a lot of companies
that make a 26-inch tire to begin with.
- I wanna say Fury, Fuel.
- I think Venom might make one.
- Venom might.
I don't know if Gladiator does or not.
- I'd have to look.
- I think Gladiator does.
- You're gonna have to find one of those show tire brands.
- Yes, absolutely. - Like you said, the Fury,
the Fuels, those guys.
You're not gonna see that size tire
out of a Toyo or something like that.
- Yeah, and I assume - It's just not their market.
- you're not going mudding with the 26 by 14s either.
- I mean, it'd be a lot cooler if you did.
I wouldn't do it.
That's a lot of money in wheels to take flying
through the mud bog, but it'd be pretty cool.
- Thought on the Hellcat Durango?
Well, I mean, it's a minivan.
- Here's my thing with that, right?
So, when the Hellcat first came out,
Dodge, they were big swinging, right?
They were the man.
- Yep. - The problem is that
all they've done is copy paste
that same recipe in every one of their production vehicles,
every one of them.
- Yeah, they've gotten a little bland.
- It's literally the same thing.
And the worst part is their media, their launch media
is always a gray vehicle with black racing stripes,
and they're like, "Wow, look at this.
It's got 707 horsepower."
It's like, "Yeah, we knew that from the last six vehicles
you put that engine in."
- Exactly, like, "We know."
- It's still cool, don't get me wrong.
It's neat to see that we're living in an age
where you have production vehicles
coming off the line with 700 plus horsepower.
- Right.
- And that's not just them, it's all over the board.
- Oh, yeah, absolutely.
- Did you know by the way, I saw the other day,
that ADD makes their own Raptor variant?
Did you know that?
- I did not.
- So ADD does what they call the Phoenix Conversion Kit.
So, they take any 2015 and above F150
and basically outfit it with Raptor-equivalent parts.
So, you get big old shocks, you get overfenders
that are seven inches wider,
or you get 12 inches of suspension travel up front
and 14 out back.
Plus, you could still retain your Coyote.
- But what is the cost per...
- I have no idea.
It's not even listed on the website,
so I'm sure it's a lot.
- Yeah, so it might even... But it's cool.
- I can't argue with that.
Do you guys have a six-inch lift kit
for a '99 Sierra 2500?
I shopped around my hometown in Montana,
and no one has one.
Well, I wouldn't expect anyone in your hometown in Montana
to stock the six-inch. - To stock that, correct.
- If it's the new body style 2500, absolutely.
If it is the OBS body style 2500,
you have to go with the K2500 OBS kit.
- Because it's a classic, sure.
- But they are on the website.
You'll be able to find them there.
- Yeah, we have them. - Just gotta do some digging.
- customoffsets.com, check them out.
(Dustin clicks)
Plug, see that?
- Hey.
(Dustin mimics air whooshing)
- How much a month do you guys spend on fuel?
$80 twice a week, so that's 160
- Hoo!
- times four.
- 160, 320, 640.
- Yeah, about $600 a month in that one vehicle,
and that's 'cause it ran on premium.
Super duty gets amazing fuel mileage,
and it never leaves.
- Really?
- Yeah.
(squeak)
This thing's 22-ish?
For an eight-inch lift on 40s, it ain't bad.
- Yeah, that's not bad at all.
- But, again, it has 8,000 miles on it
in a year and a half. - It has 9500 miles
on it as of this morning,
when I pulled it around to film the video.
- See, this guy's been driving this thing around,
putting miles on it.
- Oh dear, here we go. - You realize at 10,000 miles,
you gotta to take it in for a service?
What is the dealership gonna say?
- Yes.
- Stacking a leveling kit
on a seven-inch Rough Country bracket kit
with a lift strut.
- [Dustin] Don't do it.
- You can, shh.
(Dustin scoffs)
You can do it.
You can do it because it's a lift strut.
You're gonna be pushing the CV angles
and the lower ball joint angles.
If you have the upper control arms,
it looks like it says you do,
you should be all right.
- [Josh] Best lift for a second-gen Tahoe?
(Dustin laughs)
- I'm waiting.
I'm waiting.
- I'm gonna finish my pizza, my friend.
I think Rough Country is like the only thing they make
a lift for that truck, yeah. - Is it?
- It could be.
- There might be a BDS four and a half out there,
but I think his only real option is Rough Country.
- 'Cause those did not share the same chassis
as what the half-tons did, right?
- Correct.
- 'Cause the first gen did, I believe.
- First gen was a truck chassis.
- Yeah, would have shared the K1500 chassis. Right.
- Yeah, second gen is its own, with coil springs.
- Yeah.
- Dogs or hamburgers?
- Hamburgers.
I mean, the inner Wisconsinite in me wants to say brats,
'cause that's what we do up here.
- That is fair.
- But...
- It's actually a hard one for me.
- Really? - I guess I'd pick
hamburgers, too.
I don't know, I can down like five
(squeak)
hot dogs.
- But would you do...
- Oops, I swore on the internet.
(Dustin hisses)
Would I be able to fit 22 by 10s
on a four-inch lift
on my '18 GMC Sierra with some 35s?
You're gonna have to trim with 33s, bro.
35s aren't gonna happen,
unless you really wanna cut it apart.
- Listen, anything is possible.
- Anything is possible when you believe
in the Milwaukee Sawzall, but--
- Brandon Jordan put 35s on his Tundra
with a three-inch lift, I think?
- Was it like wide-bodied?
- No.
- Did he get rid of the fender?
- They relocated the body mount
- Ooh.
- because he had to cut so much of it outta there.
- Well, that'd be fine.
- It's awesome, he's on Anthems.
It looks really good.
- Thoughts on second-gen Dodges, Cummins or gas?
(Dustin sighs)
- Cummins, yes, gas, no.
- I would argue that
that truck is the best farm truck ever made.
- Every farmer had one.
Yeah, let me get you a...
- I'm literally
- I'm gonna eat another piece of this, by the way.
- actively, but not actively looking for one.
- A second-gen?
- So if anybody's got a clean second-gen Cummins out there,
- So, if you're feeling--
- I just need a rolling chassis.
- If you're... - I don't need a body.
- What? Why?
- I don't need a body, I can't elaborate on it.
- Oh, all right.
- I just need an extended cab
- Oh.
- long box chassis.
- I already know why.
Cool things in the works.
- We can't tell the internet.
- There's cool things in the works.
That's all they needed to know.
- Yeah, realized you guys
were in Wisconsin.
Where are you?
I live in southeast Wisconsin.
- Northeast Wisconsin.
- You didn't know we were in Wisconsin, bro?
We are what?
What would you say?
20 miles from Green Bay,
South East of Green Bay.
(can hissing open)
- Yep.
- If I stand on top of the hill,
I can probably see Lambeau Field.
That's a lie.
- No, they don't work like that, too far away.
But we're pretty close.
- [Josh] Someone said they can see Fuller in the window.
(Banker and Dustin chuckle)
- Good, stay there.
(Dustin laughs)
- What eight-inch lift should I get for a 2015 F250?
I don't really have a budget.
I mean, if you're just gonna ball out,
BDS makes a very nice coilover lift kit,
- That was what I was gonna say.
- which can be seen behind us.
I absolutely love it, truck ride's phenomenal.
- Yeah, it does.
It rides good, it drives good.
It's nice.
BDS make good stuff.
- Can this guy get a...
He wants a lift kit for his Crown Victoria.
Bro, they make them.
- That's right, they make them.
They do exist.
- We don't offer any.
- Correct.
- Correct, but they are out there.
They're basically just spacers to lift it,
and they don't lift it
much more than two inches tops, I believe.
- You can still have 31s on them though.
- Right.
- Blaire did that with the Grand Marquis.
- Yo, Jared Martinez with the bomb question.
Milwaukee or DeWalt?
- Milwaukee, bro.
What kinda question is that? - This is Wisconsin.
Go look in the shop,
every tool we have is red.
- Oh, yeah, my dad was a DeWalt guy, believe it or not.
- Oh, my dad was the same.
I mean, you're talking 30 years ago?
Milwaukee wasn't much of a brand.
- Correct.
- These days, fire.
- They just released a one-inch impact.
- I saw.
- A big girl.
- It's beautiful.
- Ooh.
- What do you got?
- Duramax, Power Stroke, or Cummins and why?
And if you could diesel-swap any vehicle, what would it be?
- All right, so that's a two-parter.
So, Duramax, Cummins, or Power Stroke?
This is a really loaded question, by the way.
- This is a super loaded question.
- 'Cause there's no...
I feel like you could pick one...
- I have reasons why I would pick each one.
- That's what I'm saying.
- Different applications... - Depending on the year.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, absolutely. - Yeah, yeah.
- If I want something to haul, just a straight-up,
I want a Cummins.
If I wanna go fast,
I'm gonna get a Duramax.
- Oh yeah, I'm gonna build--
- Six-liter Power Stroke, baby, let's go.
- Gale Banks is gonna build me a Duramax.
- That's true.
I don't know though, man.
I remember when I had my six-liter,
the guys would always say they'd go to the grass drags
and those regular cab short box six liters
would just haul the mail
- Yeah.
- 'cause they hook up,
'cause there's such a short wheel base.
- I mean, you had to head stud it
and replace the gaskets
on the way home. - Oh yeah, absolutely.
Correct. - Right.
- Catastrophic engine failure was in your future,
but it's all right.
- Yeah, absolutely.
- They scream, they're great.
- If you could diesel-swap any vehicle, what would it be?
- That's a good question.
Diesel-swap any vehicle.
I saw there was, at Iola last year,
a super dope
1965 International deuce-and-a-half truck.
It was slammed, and it had a massive turbo Cummins.
- Yep.
- It was awesome.
I want that.
Looked like a mini-semi,
had the dual wheels - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- in the back,
the big old rear axle.
Oh yeah, that's hot.
I'd do that again.
- I would also put a Cummins in an International.
Have you ever been to Greenville, Wisconsin,
and what is your opinion?
- Greenville, I love Greenville.
I live like two miles
from Greenville. - For real.
I was in Greenville the other weekend.
Great little town.
- Yeah, we go through there all the time.
- Oh, yeah.
- Wave if you see us.
- Do you ship to Canada?
- We do.
The shipping's a little bit more expensive,
but we do ship to Canada.
Wheels, tires, and suspension, we'll ship it all.
- Ooh, I like this one.
Thoughts on Kelderman lifts?
Do you know who Kelderman is?
- I don't think I'm familiar with them.
- Oh, which kind of makes me sad.
We're teaching Dustin as we go here.
(Dustin laughs)
- Thanks for outing me on the internet.
- Kelderman is a lift kit company out of Iowa,
- Okay.
- who started by making farm machinery.
- I'm already in, I love 'em. - Exactly.
- I don't need to know the rest of it,
I'm in. - They're literally,
a bunch of farmers from Iowa
and now they make high-end airlift kits.
So, four to six-inch adjustable,
six to eight-inch adjustable, 10 to 12 adjustable
- I'm in.
- air suspension for the big trucks.
- I'm in, I love it.
- They're very good quality.
They're very pricey,
and in our climate up here,
air is very finicky.
Josh, what would you...
How would you word that?
How is air suspension through winter in Wisconsin?
- [Josh] Fun. - Would you say it's reliable?
- Fun, he says. - [Josh] No.
- It's just fickle, right?
- Exactly. - It's a little...
It's tough because you get condensation in the lines,
and then it freezes, and all that good stuff.
But yeah, we're not in a southern state
that doesn't see below 30.
- Clean shave 24/7 and have your dream truck,
but only be able to drive it in reverse,
or have the manliest beard and drive a beater
that is always on the point of breaking down,
but it never does?
- I'll take that one.
A beard and a beater truck, what more could a guy want?
- Right?
As I just shaved last night, 'cause it was so hot
and I couldn't stand having a beard anymore.
- No, dude, you just learn to deal with it.
- I'll drive a dream truck in reverse, I guess, whatever.
How do you guys feel about squatted trucks?
- How much squat?
Are we talking like two inches, or like six?
- Let's just call it six-inch lift in the front,
drop shackle in the rear on 26-inch replicas
and rubber bands.
- No sir.
Not for me. - Straight-up Carolina.
- Straight from NC, I'm good.
I don't mind a little squat.
Randy's truck has a little squat, I think it looks good.
- I feel like it looks like its lift springs are worn out.
- I don't hate it, I like it,
But I'm not about, like Junior's Bronco, staring at the...
- Yeah, exactly.
- I'm a short little guy, okay?
I probably wouldn't be able to see over the hood.
- Yeah.
Austin asked what my plans are for my new truck.
You're gonna wanna stay tuned for some videos,
'cause we are documenting all of that.
I can't really talk about it right now.
- Most of the build parts are here now.
- Most of it.
- I would say 75% of them are here now, which is super cool.
We're really excited to bring that one.
That's gonna be a lot of fun.
- It's gonna be fun.
Dream truck?
- Right now?
- Yeah, these change constantly.
- Yeah, I mean, if you'd have asked me this six weeks ago,
I'd have told you I was gonna buy a Raptor.
I wanted the Raptor so bad.
However, I think if I had to go buy a truck right now,
new or used, it would be a Tremor.
I love the Tremor package with the 6.7,
not with the 7.3 gas.
- Okay, yeah, that's fair.
- With the 6.7,
'cause the thing for me with that truck
is that it's like...
The Tremor is, in my opinion, the perfect combination
between daily usable, drivable working man's truck,
but also, I wanna go get lost up north this weekend.
- Okay, yeah.
If I have to pick something OEM,
obviously, it's very hard for me to pick something
that's made from a dealership
'cause I always wanna mess with stuff.
But right now, I really have this soft spot right here
for '80s Chevy K30 3+3s,
the factory crew cab. - Ooh, yeah.
- Yeah, yeah.
- [Josh] Daily the Lambo for a week or the K350?
- Okay, if we're talking between these two,
this, right here. - Probably, yeah.
- That is an absolute nightmare to drive.
Shawn can attest to it.
- I mean, not that that's a whole lot easier to drive.
- For me, it is.
- All right, that's fair.
- I like being able to see.
- Yeah, correct.
- This, you might as well be blindfolded,
wearing a Batman costume.
(Dustin laughs)
Literally, if you go to change lanes, you can't look.
I can't wear a hat in there.
I can only wear a certain pair of shoes
to hit the pedals on there.
- 'Cause they're so small?
- Yeah, if I wear my boots, my foot gets stuck
behind the brake pedal, 'cause they're so narrow.
And it's a cool car, it's super fun,
but to daily is an absolute nightmare.
- Yeah, and I think that's gonna ride
way better than that does,
- Yeah. which is interesting to say,
because you would think a sports car would ride way better.
However, that is not built for our roads.
- No, no, no.
- That's built for Autobahn or...
- Smooth roads where there's no frost.
- Yeah, the highways
that run up and down the coast in California.
- Correct.
- That's not built for
(Dustin chuckles)
rural Wisconsin one-and-a-half lane backroads.
(Banker laughs)
- I don't know what this is,
but somebody just sent 3.99 to roast the Team Stance trucks.
(Dustin laughs)
- That is a donation.
So, that man donated $3.99 to us,
so thank you for that.
- Don't we do like Roast Your Rides?
- We do.
- I would totally be willing
to do a Roast Your Rides Team Stance edition.
- That'd be fun.
- I'd have to get approval from the Team Stance guys.
I'll see who wants to get in on that,
and we'll do a little roast session
because I know those guys so well.
- Yeah. - I've known them for so long,
and we pick on them already,
so why not?
(Dustin laughs)
- [Josh] Somebody did ask how to join Team Stance.
- How to join Team Stance,
that is a great question for John.
It's been about eight years since I've done it,
but I do believe you just go to teamstance.com,
and you fill out a form and PayPal.
- Yep. - So, you're gonna wanna
hit that up,
and that will get you in.
I don't remember if our age cutoff is 18 or 21 these days,
but I do know we don't have younger than 18, at least.
Z Dragon, again, another guy from the area, wants to know
if there's a good place to get trucks or cars wrapped.
We do it here, bud.
You can come on in.
We got our guys here that can do it for you.
- Yeah, they do great work.
- Chris, I know you've approved roasting Team Stance trucks,
but I need to get the other guys on board.
- We need some more.
- We need to get the trucks approved, so...
That's a good idea though.
- I like it. - Bonus points.
Recommend an eight-inch FTS or BDS six-inch
with lift struts and a level on top
for an old Ford '08 F150.
(Banker sighs)
(Banker blows raspberry)
If it were mine, I would stack the leveling kit
on the BDS six-inch.
And I know all I tell you you guys
is you shouldn't stack stuff,
but it's gonna ride better than the FTS,
or you buy the FTS and you get the fox coilover separate,
and then you're good to go.
- Yeah.
Last one, make it good.
Got a good one, Josh?
- [Josh] Well, this guy has a suggestion, but--
- What's he got?
- [Josh] He said, "Rumor is the new Ram 2500
with the Cummins will have an Allison transmission."
Do you think so?
- We cannot confirm nor deny that statement,
because Ram has not confirmed nor denied that statement.
- Be way cooler if they did, though.
- If they did,
I would be very excited to see
what kind of power numbers they do,
but my only fear is Cummins made
the Titan motor for the Titan XD.
- Yeah.
- And they took one away from everything they know
to build something for Nissan,
and I'm really hoping that Allison didn't go away
from everything they know
- To build, yeah.
- to build to build the transmission for Cummins.
- That's like the biggest upset of all time though,
'cause that was always the weak point of Dodge trucks
in the mid to late 2000s to 2010,
and also the strong point of GM trucks
was the Allison transmission.
So, that is like-- - Well, to a certain point.
The five speeds weren't...
Not like they did anything else.
- That was always like...
The bragging point was like,
"Oh, it's got an Allison transmission.
That's the same transmission that was used
in the Abram tanks." blah blah blah blah blah.
- Yep, absolutely.
- And it's like if that's true,
that's one of the biggest upsets of all time.
- Yes, that will literally be a game changer.
- I guess we'll find out.
- To have the power, to make the power,
and to put the power down.
- Correct.
- Cool. - Cool, stay tuned.
- Absolutely.
- If they do it, you'll hear from us.
- I mean,
- We'll do another reacting video.
- we'll try to be first.
- Well, we won't be first, but we won't be last.
It's what we do.
- Maybe we'll just call Cummins, they're in Indiana.
(Dustin laughs)
- That's true, I've been there.
- All right.
All right guys,
we're gonna wrap it up. - Okay.
- So make sure that you let us know what you think.
And, again, we're gonna be doing this every week.
I believe Brad is gonna be on next week.
- Yeah, correct.
- So, get your thinking caps on,
get us some good content for...
Let us know what you want us to talk about
in the beginning next week so we can cover a good topic.
If you've forgotten, Brad is no longer in the shop with me.
For the last two years now,
Brad has actually been our suspension expert
for the website in general.
- Correct, he's the man. - So, he's gonna have
a lot of really good answers
for a lot of technical questions for you guys
that I probably might not even be able to answer.
So, think about that.
Let us know in the comments and everything.
And I believe they're gonna make a cut of this.
- Yeah.
- which will go up
- Next Thursday - next Thursday as well
- in the morning. - before we go live.
- Yep.
- So, you can throw your comments in there
so we know what we're gonna talk about at night.
- Yeah.
- And have a few more corn cobs.
- Yes.
- Thank you, farmers.
- Woo!
- Later, guys.
