Yeah but there just shocks. If I'm gonna buy a lift, why not go all out and buy the perfect one that's gonna last. I wanna spend money once and by done for the lift lol.

 

I think you'll like the Allpooh leafs, they allow for a lot of flex. Don't try and haul a ton of stuff in the bed.

 

I've heard that have great flex . I don't they don't have good loading Capacity. That's the only draw back that I hate. I have a 480
Lbs ATv that I bring with me in the bed a couple times a month. That's when I only have a huge load. So I'm hoping the leaf packs can handle that.

 

Much better than stock. Getting the extended bumps?

 

Didn't know I needed it. I know that my left side doesn't even have a bump stop haha. I guess when they did the frame , they forgot to put one in. I'll have to buy some.

 

They go on the rear spring, and are held on by the u-bolts. Wheelers has some nice ones. They'll keep your springs from going into negative arch, which is a leaf spring no-no.

 

Oh ok I see. I didn't know that. Thank you dude. I'll have to get some too. I want my leafs looking good lol. The factory ones I have now are so bad. Frown face to the max haha.

 

I've got to get them for mine, but my Dakars do much better with a loaded bed so I'll eventually get around to it.

 

After Rausch I'm starting to save for icon 3.5's!

 

For the amount of money you are willing to dump into your truck, why don't you save up for an SAS?

All said and done you'll have a minimum of 6" of lift and be able to out-wheel everyone.

 

3.5's 2.5s aren't enough? I saw a 5.25 over on the midtravel BS thread haha. Have you seen those new shocks BAMF is carrying? Get some of those

 

Those are nasty! But I'd only buy them if I was LT or SAS.

 

Here ya go alex

 

These are pretty cool

Those are the ones I was talking about. Road salt would probably chew them up though.

 

Yeah but as a DD, having IFS is nice. Having solid axles is taxing for long drives. SAS IS in the future! I need to look at pricing, but the SC would be in contention between both major mods

I don't have a true 2.5, I want more height, and having down travel wouldn't hurt. Plus bumper and winch made made my truck all saggy

That stuff is faptastic!

 

Last night was awesome!

 

Oh ok, i was confused. Im not even sure if icon makes a 3.5. For example i can get 2.0 or 2.5s for the rear and that refers to the shock diamter. The used extended travel icons i have are 2.5s and they are adjustable from 0-3.5" of lift. They come with 650 lb springs and you can upgrade to king 700 lb springs like john did if you need the extra support for added weight.

 

Nap time, then off to Boston for a wedding.

 

I meant 3.5" of lift. I might go kings or I might get top plate spacers to give me lift, but also let me put less load on the spring and give me more travel. I don't want to have to crank down on the spring lol.

I'm also gonna be going with 3" rear springs and adding my 1.5" daystar spacer on top for a total of 4.5" of lift in the rear, but by that time I think I'll have a nice swing out bumper from sir Cameron to take me down to 3-3.5" in the back
