Goose stage 1 or Deavers?

[07XLN]

I got a little cash burning a hole in my pocket. 2019 with 49k on it and the leafs are shot. But....... I can get by with a so so suspension for now if it means more power!!!

What would you get? Since the cost is about the same Im looking at the Goose stage 1 with TCM or stock height Deavers.

I run a Cobb Accessport with their off the shelf map. And it's great. But even better is when I put the Deavers on. On and off-road it made such a huge difference in the ride.

fix the truck first is my vote.

if we consider what we know about oem gen2 leaf, morever after 50K miles, use your money to improve rear truck 's behavior

Fix the problem, may not be the most fun to do instead of a tune, but important to address.

Only you know how shot those leafs are. If they are to the point where you aren't able to use it as a pickup truck anymore (lots of sag from a few hundred lbs) or unusual behavior on the road, my vote is Deavers. The extra power won't be as satisfying anyway if the leafs are all flattened out.

Deavers first. And shocks next if they have not been rebuilt.

The suspension on this truck is the centerpiece. If it’s in poor condition the power it already has doesn’t go where it needs to go.

How so?

Very old off road saying: “You can’t out drive your suspension”

Meaning your truck can only go as fast as your suspension allows. If your suspension sucks, your truck isn’t going to be able to use the extra power. Get the Deavers, then get a aftermarket intercooler of your choice, and get a Goose Tune Stage II, then call it good!
