    Inside_Shell_2020.jpg Got a set of rear springs with a Deaver 1.5 inch AAL. They came off a 2017.

    Anything I should do to these before I put them on?

    Any advice on cleaning/greasing?

    Currently running a 1 inch block spacer on my 2013 which I will remove. Thanks!

    Check break lines are long enough. What shocks you running?? Grease a little around bushings in the rear when switching shakle. New u bolts, torque to 85 ft/lbs, check them every so often, enjoy. I'm running a 3rd gen pack with wheelers 1.3 aal and ome shocks!

    Thanks for the feedback! I am running ProComp ProRunner SS shocks.....they are a remake of the Billies. Lines look like they'll be fine. I was going to pressure wash them and hit them with Simple Green then grease them. Any recommendation on grease? I'm excited to have these in and get the blocks out. Blocks have run fine but I haven't done any offroading with them. I know my leaf springs are pretty worn out.

    For bushings I use super lube. If your stockers are flat otherwise worn, might get a little lift in the back. You running lift up front?

    Super Lube it is. Yeah they are REALLY flat which is why I put the 1.5 inch block in. That pretty much leveled the truck out. I don't think I'll see any lift with the new leafs with AAL. I am just hoping to at least keep my current height.

    I'm running an odd setup because I'm generally an odd guy.

    ProComp ProRunner SS Shocks front and rear (Similar to Billie 5100's)

    Springs from a 2017 OR (Gave me one inch of lift up front)

    1 inch spacers up front

    Looking good!! Post up when you get your new leafs on. If concerned about squeaking leafs, now would be the time to Grease pack before going in. I didn't, and not too noisy!!

    One more thing you may or may not know. I believe the yellow lettered pack is driver side and the white is passenger. Confirm with part numbers on packs!
