0 offset sticks out about 1 3/8” over stock, you’ll get more splash on your doors but the width effectively lengthens travel and you can find aftermarket wheels that are lighter than stock too

you’ll want a slot delete kit, I would weld the plates

fwiw my king 3.5s have hoses and remote reservoirs and also I got drop shackles, both change the shape and size of the holes compared to piggyback reservoirs and stock shackles

top out is actually the term for the shock fully extending, extension clunck damages the shocks and possibly the shock tower (there’s other threads) besides the damage having only a few inches of droop isn’t really a good suspension setup, fox only recommends raising the truck an inch, imo any...

Ok so you lost your droop travel with the springs and you have extension clunk, return to stock springs or get the foutz limit strap kit, get collars if you want the front higher

it’s a bit tricky but look carefully at the pictures, gloves might save your hands on the fender liner but definitely don’t remove the wheel, if I did it anybody can!

any leaf spring shop can add leaves for about half the cost of new springs and re arch

Evil makes a limit strap kit $225

I think the spring (preload) problems are at full compression causing coil bucket failures so limit straps aren’t going to help that. collars are preferable to springs to avoid the issues apparently fwiw i’ve seen coil buckets fail with aftermarket coilovers, limit straps in the front prevent...

once you have the RST18 the front will want mid travel e clik won’t be possible after RST 18 i’m doing king secondary with stock width and boxed steel uca, lca as you are suggesting but it’s a compromise, mid travel ftw get on the wait list for the foutz boxed steel spindle with double shear...

he should have over 18” rear travel with his 3.5s and the front mid travel probably applies more leverage to those front shocks mounted inboard so a 3.5 secondary probably makes sense

flattened leaves will sag more than 1/2” eibachs may settle close to 1/2” rearch your stock leaves and add a couple of leaves 1/2 the deaver cost, deavers sag too by the way

missing hardware? what’s missing? if they’re threaded and adjustable heims at the frame side they’re probably ok, if they’re non adjustable there’s no point…

totally agree with car stereo, rearch and add a leaf, leaf spring shops are everywhere and this is easily done for 1/2 the new deaver cost

indeed the lca pockets are exposed and easily damaged with a frame cut bumper. remember the pockets are part of crash management. the foutz replacement is a nice part, they advised me to repair the pockets if possible, weld in doubling plates, pocket bridge and frame strengthening front and rear...
