Johnny,

We redesigned and made the shifting line on all the gearboxes much better than our previous generation and other DOG shifting gearboxes.

Your able to shift anywhere from 20 to 60 psi. Our team likes to shift somewhere around 40 psi. Sometimes lower so we save air.

Some changes to note:

-Dog is now 1.0625" Diameter and made out of high strength steel (4140).
-The Screw is beefier, but the DOG is now 30% wider than before. Which means your able to easily drill it out .125" and put in a High Strength Roll Pin:

Thanks,
