Did you have to do an alignment after the install on the bottom perch?



Yes. I went from mid perch to bottom perch plus added taller springs than stock.

It should be pretty equal to stock springs on mid but alignment is definitely cheaper than tires that wore prematurely.

Strongly recommend it.

Cool, thanks. I'm on bottom perch now and staying on bottom with the new springs to start.

Low perch. It seems to be right at that point between low and mid where if it was at mid it might be aiming nose high.

Definitely don't want the CA Lean.

This is mine with Deaver +2" in rear (plus small adj. from deaver for trailer tongue weight of 600 lbs), on bottom perch. Love the ride of these springs - best mod to date for sure! I powdercoated mine black.

Last two photos are of the truck before the springs. Picked up about 1.5" in the nose, but still @$$ high - mid perch would probably do it, but I like the ride too much to mess with it.

Just got confirmation they shipped today! Now I need to decide if I should run them on mid or bottom perch? I'm currently on mid with oem springs and miss the plush ride of factory set up. When I install these I'm also putting RPG tie rods and sdhq alignment cams on the LCA before it gets aligned.

I installed my springs on mid perch this past weekend. Also welded sdhq doubler plates, sdhq alignment cams, and RPG tie rods. Did it in the driveway, started at 10:30am and finished at 7:30pm. Only skinned one knuckle and burned my ear with hot slag. Had to put my oem wheels back on so I could fit on the alignment rack. The ride is unbelievable! It feels much more balanced, great mod!
