OK so the engine overheats to 250° at 60 mph but at stop it goes right back down to 215°. Why?

I'd say fan clutch. Or trans isn't cooling.

Did it start when you put that in? If your trans is heating up, your coolant will, too. Keep in mind that works both ways, so there's a good chance your trans fluid is heating up even if it isn't the problem.

No the lines are not collapsing. What if they were collapsing, what does that mean?

Is there a more HD shock, like a pick up rated one, that I can use in the rear to handle offroad and ridin with no sway bar. I feel like my zones died way to fast.

Right I've blown my rc shocks, getting bilstein 5100s soon, also hear the rancho 5000s or 9000s are pretty good
