Help a Gal out with suspension on a gen 1

geiser springs are a little less fun on the road than the stock ones, stiffer ride, but are infinitely better off-road, all depends where you expect to use your truck...

Thanks for that info. I drive this truck daily for work and sometimes drive the axle busting streets of New Orleans, which many times are much worse than dirt roads I’ve been on. I’ve only been to Durhamtown off-road with it once-that was fun!

Agree with coronaraptor and i run mine at mid perch with oem coils and it rides great on our street up here in the northeast probably about as nice and bumpy as your roads lol. I hit the logging roads sometimes and it still handles fine.

What do you mean, "a little less fun"? I'm looking to get Geisers on new OEM front shocks set at low perch and Deavers+2 for the rear. Will this help it handle much better than stock?

fair point, i should have been more specific... in my experience, with the geisers on the bottom perch on my truck... the truck rides stiffer than the oem springs at mid-perch on the road... once you go offroad (or hit an elevated railroad crossing at 45 mph) they are much better... night and day better

 

[bubblehead93]

don't get me wrong, i love my geiser springs...

They are better offroad for compression when landing, lol

All you need to do is set the new shocks to mid perch. You do not need to spend ANY $$$ for what you are trying to accomplish

Greetings from (Lafayette) LA!
I work at Jackson Barracks! I've seen a few Raptors around the area. Might have seen yours around if you've had it for a while.

I recently added Deaver +2 Leaf springs, Geiser front coils, and got my shocks rebuilt. Sitting on bottom perch. Here's how mine sits now. Pretty close to level.
(Though, from what I hear, the Geisers will settle an inch or two.)
