[MichiganRay]

Thanks I have found your videos very helpful. You dual adjustment Shock tips help me get my car to hook up. The leaf spring tips will just take a little while to do.. Glad you came through Covid-19. Hope you didn’t have any Long Covid. Its been a while since you made the videos I am watching. You are a good teacher.. Thanks.

Thank you for the video, and thank you for the shout out to healthcare providers. As a nurse, it’s means a lot to hear a shout out from the racing community. Don’t push yourself too hard, get well soon! Looking forward to more education with suspension tuning.

[nickrodriguez]

I need a neighbor like you. Thanks for the info got new knowledge on leaf spring dynamics. ❤

[rathealwatford]

Thanks for the video Kevin. Glad to have you back!

[bjbolden]

I’ve been watching you every since I bought my Calverts thanks for your help buddy keep the info coming

[nnjaweedman]

I'm just about to install a set of caltracs on my 2005 ford falcon ute, the information and experience you share has been extremely valuable. Thanks Kev.

[bondobird]

Awesome video Kevin! It’s taken awhile for me to understand a lot of what you went over. I wish I saw this a year ago. Lol. Great info and I’m glad someone finally talked about it.

[timhammond]

Awesome video. Simple info that is so useful, simple and complicated at the same time. Thank you!

[howardcameron]

Thank you for your content hope you get better soon my friend

[BeigeYeti]

Man glad your ok! For some reason I haven't been seeing your videos popping up so I went and found them. Some more good info especially since I'm picking up a pretty serious 468 bbc for my camaro.

I had covid pneumonia back in sept. Was in the hospital for 3 weeks and on oxygen for a month and a half. Worse time of my life. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

[Eltainoracing]

This has helped tremendously thank you so much

As far as wiring advice, at this point I find it hard to argue against just converting to a solid state PDM box, like a Moristech/Black Box P14, they just make life SO EASY compared to wiring up individual relays & fuses for each circuit, not to mention being programmable. The P14 is really reasonable at $925 too, even the 30 channel P30, if 14 channels isn't enough, is only $1400(compared to $3150 for a 30ch Motec PDM - but that is Motec after all lol).

SRC Billy's truck is pretty wild - running as fast as it does, on every surface they race on, and with completely stock suspension at all 4 corners + CalTracs & Viking shocks front and rear! REALLY want to see them run some split monos & sliders, but it's hard to say they're "doing it wrong" given the results.
I've been thinking about building a Ranger for a while since I saw that Calvert has split monos & CalTracs(both spring over & spring under options too, which is pretty cool) for them, and, once I found their channel and saw what that super basic S10 can do, it completely sold me on a leaf build.
I'm sure I'm going to be referencing both of these leaf spring videos in the future.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I really liked the ARC switch panel and relay board I put in my car.

[joeschmo]

Great info Kevin. Thanks for the help with assassin bars. I would look into speedwire or spaghetti menders for switch panels and relay boards

[professormetalhead]

Thanks Kevin. Love your videos. Hope your feeling better.

[pro]

Glad you're back, and hope you feel 100% soon. Electronics recommendations depends on how computer dependent you want to be. I prefer the Racepak PDU, but all the circuits need programming. The Leash boards are nice, high quality stuff, just a little more "conventional" with relays and fuses.

[HurricaneSeasonCustoms]

Great video! Adding this to my reference materials for sure.

[derekmckay]

Thank you kevin! Iove your videos. Expecialy the leaf spring stuff.
