Stock 2017 "beadlocks"What wheels and backspacing?
In order to prevent the nose high look, I had to have the rear up ~1.75". I accomplished this with adding a leaf to the leaf springs. I now have 5 leafs instead of 4. The adding a leaf serves many benefits. It returns an optimal rake that I like, the back is 1" higher than front.
It prevents sag upon heavy loads as I have more haul capacity now. It has more progressive load handling. And, it keeps similar riding characteristics as the new leaf is the same light gauge steel and added the 3rd leaf down instead of the second.
View attachment 95322Not too sure if it was simple... More like frugal, didn't want to go 1k+ for Deavers. Plus, had to gamble on placement of the leaf. Most shops want to put leaf in second spot and didn't want to order the light gauge steel.
I went with both RPG bumps and Deaver +3 . The truck handles much much better with this set up and the 2.25" collarsDid you add rear bump stops from the aftermarket or just the deaver +3?
