Rear Suspension Question...

I vote deaver leaf pack or Dakar leaf pack if you want a lift in the rear. If you dont want a lift, I think @Cody23 installed AirBags in the rear, and he is really happy with them. that may be an option

 

I do have airbags. They are great I have about 500# constant weight. They are rough off road. But ride like a caddy on the road

 

Like the above 2 comments?

I would also get airbags and plan on it.
But, what do they compromise in Offroad where stiffer springs won't? (curious not combative)

 

I have daystar cradles on mine and haven't noticed a difference. I just like the adjustability. like I said they are rough off road. you really have to take ur time

 

I think AAL is the best way to go. Cant wait to do mine. Stupid bills!

 

So with the AAL, is your truck riding on that spring when under normal load? Cause I really like the way my TRDOR rides. I like the way it floats over RR tracks and soaks up washboard country roads and potholes where I live. If it rides like normal when unloaded, then settles down on the AAL when so much weight is on it to keep it from sagging like crazy, then I'd agree that sounds like a good way to go. ESPECIALLY if I plan a small lift on the front in the near future. If not, then I'm liking the idea of the Sumo springs if I stay stock height. I think from what I've read that I need to decide if I wanna lift, or stay stock height and let that make the decision on either the AAL or Sumo springs.

 

The best thing you can do for your ride "feel" offroad is air down your tires. Its also the cheapest. Id recommend honestly, get some decent wheelers or durobumps bump stops up front, get an aal. I currently have Dakar heavy load leaf pack, which is not a custom leaf pack. If you call Deaver, and tell them what you want, they should be able to make one specifically for your application.

 

AAL will make your rear suspension stiffer.

FWIW I used to “like” the way my OR suspension handled bumps and things too. Now with my new suspension, I get a grin on my face and accelerate into them. I can only imagine how the guys with Kings and the other high end stuff feel.

 

Irony doesn't care. Lol

 

Anyone need Sumos? I went the RAS route. Got a blue pair of sumosprings with about 900 miles.
