thanks for the compliment! they are from n-fab, you might also find them under the name "smittybuilt". awesome steps a bit pricey, but worth it!

u finding that u get alot of flex out of them (or the body not sure which yet) when u step on them? im actually thinking about bracing the body to the frame where they mount cuz of the flex i have seen

I believe it's in the programming.

If you get used to applying throttle at the right speed it goes. If you stomp it too quick it takes a while.

they dont really flex to bad, they are supposed to have a 445 lb weight limit so im not to worried, but fabricating a brace doesnt sound like a bad idea....

shoulda bought a 7.3

my 7.3 had throttle lag when I first got it........now its got slight turbo lag and my throttle positioning sensor is screwed up but i can still stomp it and boil the tires off while pullin a 360* into traffic

yeah well im 200 on a fat kid day so its not a weight issue lol. i just think its got a bit to much bounce for me and im concerend that down the road the body sheetmetal might start to stress and tear

I talked to Matt at Spartan about the lag and he explained that it is built in to the factory programming because of the DPF. When does a 7.3 or 6.0 smoke the most? Initial take off right. So to keep the DPF from getting clogged all the time they defuel the engine on initial take off. The harder you mash the pedal the longer the delay. Sucks and if you dont account for it you could get yourself killed. Anyway, once you remove the DPF the programming can be adjusted to remove the delay or lag. Its not actual turbo lag, the turbo's spool very quick but not until they are supposed to according to the programming.
