Yes...had to order the pads for the deavers.

Please give me an honest and unbiased opinion on my questions below.
1) How does the truck ride now compared to stock with respect to stiffness? If I had my pick, I would actually like to slightly soften the factory ride, so would I be happy with the changes you made?
2) What did it cost to do your upgrade?
3) Did you have to make any other mods to keep the 37" tires from rubbing?

1. So far after 2 days of riding pavement...i honestly feel no difference. I"m sure its a bit stiffer, but i don't really notice as i'm pretty novice to all this. I don't need everything to be completely perfect. I like it, i've drove wranglers my entire life, so anything that rides smoother to that is a plus for me.

2. Deavers were like $1325, Bumpstop pads were like $160, Geisers were like $580, Shipping on Deavers was $160 since i had them shipped to my local shop and not my house. And installation and alignment cost me $765.

3. I don't have 37s...i'm running stock tires and wheels. From what i read, if i got 37, i might have to trim a tiny bit, but maybe not at all depending on the tire and wheel combo. I don't do any heavy offroading so i might get away with no trimming.

My costs were very close to Tlh235s, except I added the RPG Stage 2 bump stops to mine.

1. I jumped straight to 37 Toyo RTs, so I never drove mine with the factory wheels/tires. I feel the truck rides slightly firmer, but in a good way. There is no leaning around corners and it takes bumps beautifully compared to stock. The 37s feel heavier in the steering wheel and while braking, but the MPT tune totally made up for power-loss of the bigger tires. I am very happy with the changes I made and I would do it again!

2. I paid $499 for the Geisers and $1265 for the Deavers. Total of $1764, plus $173 for shipping both of them to the shop.

For my installation, I paid $180 for the Geiser and $330 for the Deaver +3s. Total of $510.

I paid $109 for an alignment at the Ford dealer by my house since other local shops could not fit the truck on their machines due to the track width of 87".

RPG Stage 2 bumps were $1394 and $180 to install.

3. I had to trim a small 1" x 1" piece of the inner wheel well that was rubbing on both sides. I may do more in the future, if needed.

I really appreciate the feedback. If anybody has this setup and lives anywhere near Cincinnati, please let me know. I would love to see how it looks and rides in person before making the jump. My only concern is that the setup may ride a little too harsh for me.

Got the Geisers and Deavers installed on Monday. Did some measurements. I measured from the ground, somebody mentioned that i should actually measure from the bottom of the wheel...so take my measurements with a grain of salt

Thanks for the pics and measurements. On a side note, I have a Screw because I need the extra rear seat room for the family, but in my opinion, your Scab looks a lot sportier. Any interest in trading your Scab for my Screw and two kids?

Seeking some advice .... since I am trying to get enough lift to add 37" tires as cheaply as possible without doing anything overly cheap or stupid, I am going to add the Geiser springs which would add 2.5" to 3" of lift in the front. I could definitely spend more money and add Deaver leaf springs to the rear, but if I am interested in saving money, what are your thoughts on one of the following for the back end:

1) Replacing the rear lift blocks with some that are 1.5" to 2" inches taller (I still want a little rake from the rear to the front to give the impression of the truck sitting higher.)
2) Using different shackles that make the rear sit 1.5" to 2" inches taller.
3) Adding a leaf to the existing leaf springs (not big on this idea because I do not want the truck to ride any stiffer).
