Suspension Upgrade Starting Point - Gen2

[Clockton]

Call Jeff at SVC. I have been down this path, and he was a huge help. There is a step-wise way to go about improving everything. I will say that the truck will not change dramatically unless you change the geometry and add mid-travel. I found replacing the OEM shocks to be a waste of money and wish I had gone mid-travel out of the gate. If you are not offroading, this is, of course, overkill. My truck is 100% SVC, and it's hard to describe how fun it is. If you have desert access, do it. I am selling my Gen 2, and my R shows up today. I am building the same truck again.

If you are hauling stuff in the bed, rear shocks, deavers and bumps.

do me a favor and keep us posted please - I'm contemplating the same decision on roughly the same budget. Curious to know how it all works out for you MLAX.

I'm going down this rabbit hole now.

Got the FRS 3.0's first as my stock shocks were due for a rebuild.

Next on the list are Deavers/Icon leafs. May just go the Deaver route as they've been tried and true.
Bumpstops. SVC seems like the top one. Going to go over them one more time factoring in install and ease/difficulty there.

All the above is in the $8-10k+ range, and I wanted to spend ~6k now and then the remaining early next year.
