Had some new Progressive rate Spring made

[vanilla_gorilla]

FINALLY got my springs installed. Now I just need to get em on! It's freaking like Sri Lanka here with the humidity today. The camera lens is impossible to keep dry. I'll post before and after profile shots of the truck with measurements and what equipment it has. Soon.

You don't happen to have a pic of the stock coil and shock and one of these put together as a comparison?

Don't the WSI springs lift the rear or at least leave it level. I would like to see pics of the Geiser springs on bottom perch and rear lowered 1 inch.

Im guessing there would be about 1/2" difference in height difference to be close to dead level with that setup. yours looks higher in the rear.

It is a little higher in the rear. My Geisers are on bottom perch. I have the adjustable shackles, and they are on the lower setting. I do not consider the rake to be terrible. It is much better than how the truck sits stock.

When I get around to swapping them out (probably next week) I'll snap a side by side of each. OE shock and spring and OE shock with the GB spring. And that before and after profile shot.

What do you want to compare?

I am looking forward to seeing that.

Unlike some of you guys I do like the look of a lifted truck. Now nothing crazy but just a bit higher than stock. If I were to install the UTV springs at mid perch and +3 rear springs would that keep me pretty much level but about three inches over all lift ?

Yes. Look at towerhogs pictures in this thread. He has deaver +2 springs with the aftermarket cool springs set at stock perch. Pretty good bet that +3 with after market coil springs set at mid perch would be even and give you roughly 2-3 inches of lift your looking for.

I have +2 deavers in the rear and mid perch and the rear is still higher just slightly.

Just want to make sure it all is level. I may just be safe on go low perch with springs and +2 rear springs. Just not sure how mid perch and another two inches in front will affect the geometry with a 14 model. I love the look but don't want to destroy the other parts.

Mid perch height is safe any thing higher is a gamble. If it were me I would be stock springs at mid perch like I am or UTV springs on bottom perch just to know I'm safe

Not sure that will be safe either on mid perch although at least one person has commented he has a 13 at mid perch with these springs and no issues yet. Just not sure about the extra stress those two additional inches will put on other parts.... ie cv joints etc. I guess it's a gamble either way.
