No sure if I should be disappointed in this or not?

Drove my truck 32k miles last year, all good. Now back to the topic lol.

Just grab some replacement boots and roll. If you need to swap later I would recommend RTX from Icon

 

After 10k miles with rxt i hvent noticed a sag and off-road they have been very solid, just can’t get a good picture without taking tire off

 

im optimistic lol.

 

I’m interested in jumping ship to the icon pack but I’d also like to know how far it’ll droop. Not sure if anyone knows?

I decided not to do a 63 swap, so I’ll be doing archives hammer hangers and shock tower relocation with 14” shocks.

I wanna be able to use the 14” with a leaf pack that would compliment the amount of droop/flex.

 

Take the boots off and run em. The boots just trap water and grit against the shaft seals anyway

 

If there is anything I can send over let me know. I could get a tire off this weekend

 

is it just me, all your leafspring clamps dont apear to be doing anything, one of them straight up dosent even have the top bolt.

 

Op

Just a heads up, you bought the wrong rear shocks if you’re calling the rears 5100’s and not 5150s or any other number. You’ve limited the height your leafs can extend.

As in below photos note the extended length. You’re loosing an inch. Check your part numbers on your bill of sale.

 

Actually there are just a lot of guys that like to bitch and whine.

 

Back when our 1st gens were new people just drove the damn things. You've seen the pictures of frames broke in half right? That doesn't happen overnight.

 

Those boots will do more harm to than good in most cases...cut them off.

OME spring are designed that way they have a “Flat seat area”. Page below is a good read if you are unsure on how OME springs differ from common aftermarket springs.

Call Deaver. You can run a 12-14” with the Deaver pack. You’ll pay for it but you’ll be getting the best.

 

Yeah I hear those suckers are pricey, thanks!
