    looking to upgrade my rear suspension. Most of the Alcan info is about 5 years old here.

    Has anyone recently added a 6 inch leaf pack from Deaver or Alcan. Also what rear shocks did you end up going with? Thoughts on ride quality?

    Currently have fabtech 6" lift with the add-a-leaf and blocks.

    Also, would it be worth it to upgrade now. Would love to do the new Marlincrawler RCLT HD kit when it comes available... anyone know if the whole rear end would need to change again? Not necessarily wanting to 3 link the rear.

    What’s up man. I’m part of the removed 6” lift club. However, when I did have a drop bracket lift, I ran a 6” Alcan leaf pack, with rcd/Bilstein b110’s, then up front ran Heim joint total chaos UCA, with rcd extended Bilstein 5100’s thus getting rid of all spacers on the truck.

    your best bet for a capable drop bracket lift is to run a full leaf pack, shock relocate in the rear. Then run a mid travel setup up front with King/Icon/fox Coilover. Look at @Glueman for a well built setup.
