RPG Stage 3 Installation Write up from a Non Mechanical Dude

[Killjohnathan]

Yea, I had all the weight on the axle when I tightened everything up. Mine has settled a little but my rear end is still higher than my mid perch. I love it that way. The truck looks great and it handled amazing at TRR!

great read. Any updates on how it does off road??

Update: the truck handles awesome offroad. I took it to TRR and ran it hard enough to wreck my bumper and skid plate. To be honest I didn't even think twice about the rear end while I was tearing up the track. Having that stage 3 RPG kit on there gives you a huge piece of mind and confidence to take the truck even further. I am ever happy with the RPG bump stop system and leafs. The truck has settled back down on the rear end. It took a couple hundred miles, but it is more level now. I would definitely recommend anyone to look into getting this kit, very happy.

I plan on going to the little Sahara raptor rally in the next couple weeks. Can't wait to see how the truck will fly!

Im about to install my RPG Stg 3. Can you post some pics of the truck with the rear springs settled?

I have some pics on my build thread and also in the suspension forum. Between killjohnathan's and mine it shows the install pretty well. Mine ended up barely higher than stock, killjohnathan's seems like it ended up higher immediately after install. The difference in ride and capability offroad is big.
