Rides like hell right now cause of it. At 45 i feel like im gunna bounce out of the seat! Hopefully have them mid next week and can get the whole rear end done in one shot.
Yeah... Factory springs ride like butthole, unless there is a couple hundred pounds in the bed.
Which spring did you remove? Would this be a bad idea for me to do? (Tow 10-25k pretty often on gooseneck)
Looks good James! I just got my truck back on the road, had my bedsides pulled and slapped on the fiberglass fronts. New rear suspension too, I went with Deaver 6" rear lift with 2" drop shackles and Bilsteins 5160 reservoir rear shocks. Comparing to a stock rear suspension with 4" blocks and Bilsteins 5100 shocks to my current setup is day and night difference. It rides much better than I originally thought. I haven't had the chance to find the time to post of the whole new look of the truck yet. Maybe this weekend.
I've been thinking about maybe building my own UCA and LCA to extend it to 1" longer using my current lift setup and add the correct coil over shocks. Opinion on the longer UCA and LCA?

Push the front end forward 2". It will let you clear 37s without cutting the rockers and firewall. Otherwise have at it!
Pushing the front 2" is going to take a lot more work than just building a beefier & longer UCA and LCA. I'd have to practically ditch the current lift due to moving the differential further, longer front driveshaft, new tie rods... More work than I would want to do. it'll be a bitch to get the geometry spot on. Using a longer arm can achieve some extra travel and lift. I'm not sure if I'm going to upsize to 37" if my rear can take it without touching the bedsides when flexing, it looked pretty close to rub unless I trim it some. I do want 37" but don't want the rubbing issue.
Got the deaver mini pack in, 1" drop shackles and a 2" block in. Ride is night and day different. Spare is rubbing on the diff so I need to pull it back toward the rear and these ranchos are not really ment for what I want to do but it will work for now till I buy some 2.5 resi shocks for the rear and valve them in.
She is just about ready for a desert trip hehe. Just need to add a bumpstop to the front end

You inspired me. lol For my 2011 1/2 ton work truck, I just bought the 3" cognito uca-fox shock coilover kit w/resi up front and deaver mini pack 2" lift for the rears with fox shocks and resi's in the rear.
Some updated pics. Front is set at 6" of height over stock and rear is 3" of height over stock. There is a hell of a lot of droop in that rear lol
I'm VERY tempted to order a set of 2.5 shocks for the rear and valve them accordingly. Problem is they will suck for towing due to the lack of compression. But damn will they work well off road lol
Yeah built that years ago when I first attempted my hand at fabbing. Have not done the wheel yet. In slacking on it lol
