Make sure the vent that blocks off outside air is properly closed.
Sometimes they stay stuck open and you end up cooling hot outside air instead of recirculating the cooler cab air.
Always use the max a/c position on the controls. That positions is suposed to recirculate only cab air.

2.5 inch springs would probably flex better, but i don't have issues with my suspension at the moment.
I can run fire roads pretty fast without it beating up the truck or myself. And mynload capacity is pretty decent.
I'd run 3 inch springs again.
My springs are 3 inches wide front and back. I haven't driven a truck with 2 1/2 inch springs, so i couldn't tell you much.
I do run my truck with no sway bars, and i've had no problems with handling, but then again, i don't do much street racing in my truck.
We winched up to a half rotten tree, wrapped a strap about 12 ft off the ground hooked a pulley up and winched the front of the truck up. We then used 2 60" hi lift jacks on the sliders to finish raising the tire off the ground.
The truck probably has about 100,000 miles on it. It was a...
Almost forgot about the steering. If you do rockwells, your probably better off with full hydro for packaging sake. Its not DOT approved though.
On dana's you NEED at least a hydro assist on the steering box . This takes care of deathwobbles and makes the truck driveable with 44's.
If your gonna run rockwells your pretty much stuck with 6.72 gear ratios. Unless you spend $2200.00 on overson 4.88gear sets.
If you stick to dana 60 front and sterling rear axles, i would recommend 5.13 gears, or a minimum of 4.88 which is what i run.
If i had a choice i would go 5.13...
I beat on it pretty hard. On this weekend trip, i almost rolled it and managed to unseat two passenger side tires at the same time. And i do have beadlocks.
Long story short, its good to have friends that stay with you to the end. It took 2 16.5k winches and one pto winch to drag my ass...
That is basically a one ton jeep. He manages to break the front axles and was left in 2wd. Same size tires as my truck, and a bigblock chevy. Runs good.... When its not broke:sly. He has a pto wich wichnhelped out alot.
I run a 220 amp alternator and golf cart solenoids for the winch, so...
I originaly bought that snorkel made for land rover discovery, But turned around and sold it because the outlet for the hose was significantly smaller than the air filter inlet for the air filter.
It is a nice design and fits better, but the outlet shape is a long narrow oval. I´m sure it...
