[QUOTE="horizon670, post: 1967067, member: 57828"] I also installed the Gen3 Shocks ( 37 Package Shocks ) on my 2017. The front springs are one inch taller. Yes, I also had to get bigger bolts, the old ones did not fit. On the rear shocks, I had to add 2 spacers, one on each side of the shock to fit them perfectly, otherwise they had a very tiny little play. My 2017 Shocks had about 50,000 miles on them so they ride very soft when cornering, braking... Now, the Truck feels much stiffer but feels much better, the front was raised an inch. I wonder if I could fit 37s or if I will need any other modifications... I've being doing some research on how I could activate the Live Valves, making them go ON / OFF when I need to. Just a simple switch. This is all the details I have gathered: When not powered, the needle inside the Live Valve is pushed / closed so the Shocks are defaulted to Sport setting ( Very stiff ). The Live Valve require PWM ( Pulse Width Modulation ) signal that sends the voltage in frequencies to the solenoid. The valve starts opening at around 7.5 volts ( I may be wrong ) / also need to verify what Amperage value. If anyone has any details, please share. Thank you [/QUOTE]
