Perch Collars vs. Springs

[DINOZR]

You're correct. Deaver +2 will remove the factory 2" block and the net change in ride height is zero. The Deaver +3 will remove the factory 2" block and the net change in ride height is 1" over stock.

Great info. Thanks!

I'd love to get some of the rake out of my truck and have a more level look. But I've seen too many photos where "I installed Eibach springs and now my front sits high. Will it settle?" It appears that front springs only will make the front sit high--period. And I'm not currently interested in doing leafs in the rear (I just want this mod for appearance). Given all that, I feel like an adjustable perch collar is my best bet. Any advice?

The trucks do tend to settle after 500-1000 miles. But we can always go with a 1.5" perch collar or an adjustable. If you go adjustable, we can do the RPG or the Icon setups.

Just bought the Geiser 2.5" Front end progressive springs for the Gen3 today. Ill post a pic of how they look when installed.

What is the consensus on a leveling kit for the front?

I wouldn’t use anything on top of the coil over assembly over 1”.

You're much better off with either new coils or lift collars. Those are asking for busted CVs and balljoints at full droop adding to the overall length of the coilover like that.

@Rick@FMS set @DS550 up with some lift collars so he can still offroad without issue.

Sounds good. Thanks

will installing eibach or geiser springs wear out the axle boot seals quicker compare to stock?
