    You'll need extended rear shocks. I went with the RCD/Bilstein B110's. And depending on the amount of weight you cart around you may want to do the Dakars + the AAL (

    Yes. The factory lines were taught with the Dakars installed. The 24" extended lines give just the right amount of play. Brake lines, extended 5100s and Dakars pictured below.

    I've got the deaver 1.5 and it hasn't sagged one bit. I had about 800lbs in the bed and it looked level. If I hauled more I'd go full leaf pack though.

    Drives great. Less body roll and nose dive than stock but not too stiff. No vibrations and the alignment worked out with the stock UCA's.

    Very happy with it

    Shout out to @TBlack for creating this thread. I had no idea which setup to go with and your guys' pictures and input made the decision a lot easier. Truck is waiting for an alignment so I haven't driven it yet but I think it looks great so far. BTW, for those who ordered from Headstrong - did you receive new bushings and spacers for your front shocks?

    Just an update. I swapped the aal for the new Dakar Light duty leaf pack. Holds weight a lot better and gave me about an inch more lift.

    Not yet. Still have the standard length 5100s so it won't fully extend. I already got extended shocks and now shopping for brake lines and bump stops. Not in a rush since I don't have wheeling trips planned. Been driving like this for a few months now no issue on pavement. My friend has ran this setup for a year with lots of off-road. No issues with standard length

    Looks great, you’re going to love the ride! Now I’m just judging from wheel gap but are you set at 0 for the spring perch? Looks like the front got about at 3.5-4 inches of lift compared to most setups I’ve seen in here. You running spacers on both sides? Curious because I’d like to get that same amount of lift out of this simple setup

    Thank you! I didn't install it myself but I told my friend/mechanic to set the perch at 0. I'm thinking it looks a little higher in person because my truck is a prerunner. No wheel spacers either but I may throw on some 1.25" Spidertraxx for a little more poke.

    I think you mean strut spacers? I have the 1/4" Headstrong strut spacer installed on the front driver side for the lean.

    Ok that makes sense now, I’ve been contemplating throwing in the 1/4 inch spacer on both sides on top of the driver side spacer to get the full lift. Keep us posted on how it drives! I’m sure you’ll love it.
