To Chevy 63" or not..?

From what I've read is that the 63's can't handle weight that well (better than stock but not as well as the new springs out) and since they're so long they can smack against ledges when your going down a hill, and that they ride like crap.
So from who's installed them how do you think they fare?
Would you have went with Dakars if they were in your budget?

I can't weld for shit but I'm sure ONE of my engineering colleagues would do it for the right amount of beer so throw that variable out the window

i had dakars on my old 2011, would not run them again.

63"s will hit the ground on steep climbs or drop offs but unless you are doing that often, it shouldnt be that big of a deal.

a friend of mine has all pro expo leafs and they work great for him, a bit rough unloaded but that is to be expected.


if you have the money, a custom pack by deaver or atlas springs would be a great route to go.

you could also get a custom leaf pack at 63" to hold the weight that you need and will still flex nicely
