RPG Collar help. 2.25 or 3" with stock rear

[JHughes629]

I have a brand new set of 3" RPG Collars that were given to me. My my rear springs are stock.

Anyone have that set up? Are there any pics out there of 3" front collars with a stock rear suspension?

Should I sell or trade for the 2.25?

Back story: I bought Geisser springs off Facebook that were advertised as 2.5" for the Gen 2. Well, they were gen 1's. So the front is still sitting at stock ride height with with the geisers. Really don't want to buy new geissers, spend a day tearing apart the front end again and repay to swap the sprigs on the coilovers. Really hoping the 3" collars will work.

You do not want 3 inches. I suggest 1.5. I have the adjustable collars. I did the second ring up and its right about 1.5 inch lift up front with the OEM springs. It preloads them enought but no too much. I still have about .75 inches of rake which I like. You can get 1.5 collars as well. 2.25 is about perfectly level as I understand, but i prefer a tad bit of rake and as you start to load that spring up more, the ride gets a little harsh.

Ive driven and ridden in a truck with adjustables set at 3 inches. We had deavers in the back. Driven hard in the desert each year and the rebound is violent with that much preload in my opinion when hitting washouts etc... If you landed the truck off a jump, not so bad.

If you want to sell them id get 1.5 or 2.25. Just rememver with stock rear and 2.25 any load in the bed and you are nose high and it doesnt take much, a couple hundred pounds in my experience.

also i feel your pain, due to some complications on a collar / shock rebuild I got to pay twice myself just recently.
