Can you make a 3K GSK into a 4K GSK?
Well when I bought the truck it already had the 3K GSK in it, now that I'm getting my dual disk finally and will be sled pulling some next year I was wondering if its possible to convert a 3K to a 4K?
I know I will need to install the HD valve springs, but my concern's for this post are entirely concentrated on the Gov. springs themselves.
TIA

Before you buy the 4K kit let me click the springs down a few clicks and see if it helps out a little w/o being jumppy. You might ba bale to call piers or JR and see if you can swap the springs or something. I remember you saying how much you hated my 4k gov springs

I don't know what it was about your truck last year man, but yeah it was brutally jumpy with the 4K's. Whatever you've changed in the past year it drives GREAT now! Maybe it was the DV's?

No with the 4k kit it just takes a while to find the sweet spot. J.R has helped me tune it in a lot in the last year and It has helped it out a lot. My truck is fun to drive again. And as you know what I have done to the truck to tune it in has worked. The 4k gks took a few months of playing with to get right.

ON!Checking timing this weekend.
Still need to replace OEM boots with some OEM's I have off a new truck! (think I might have a slight boost leak)
by the time I get my ADP Plate and DV's I'll be past you on HP level Buckeye!
