J66 or U402 Stage 1

Only have the OEM tri-fold cover and a bed mat.

Current rear setup is: FOX 2.0 985-26-117 Remote Reservoir, Wheeler's MP3a 3 leaf progressive AAL, and factory overload leaf.

J66 - 10 leafs, military wrap, diamond cut ends, anti-friction pads and four piece bolt through retaining clips.

U402 Stage I – 9 leafs, military wrap, diamond cut ends, anti-friction pads and four piece bolt through retaining clips. 2-inch lift. Designed for bed weight of 0-300 lbs.

I'm trying to improve the ride, but see both of these as options. Might just remove overload to see if that makes things better while I decide which one or a deal comes up. Front end currently measures 23" and rear 25.5" center hub to fender.

Any advise?

 

J66 is fantastic for lighter loads and will give you smother articulation while wheeling. . If you carry more weight or want to load your rig with a rack down the line the U402 stage 1 is a great option. You will love either. Email Marie at Headstrong Offroad with any questions, she is the s**t! Cheers

 

Seen a couple of bad orders come out of them, I as an example, received the wrong pack and as a drop shipper it was a PITA getting it corrected.

 

Wrong pack shipped from Headstrong? I guess it happens, but that blows!

 

I'm happy with my U402. Not sure about the J66. HS does have really good customer service.

 

J66 is good with little to no extra weight. Speaking from personal experience:
They definitely sag under any load over 200lbs. Towing isn’t scary or dangerous, but without an overload you will ride the bumpstops. Also possibly loose the little arch they have.
If you almost never use the truck for a “truck” or tow, and are willing to sacrifice both of these for daily comfort or gravel road plush, they you will be happy.

 

100% go U402 stage 1's. The J66 are meant for very lightly loaded trucks and desert speed. I've heard way too many people regret J66's. I've not heard of anyone regretting U402's.

I have U402's

 

They are a drop shipper so they dont ship anything. They transfer the order and it ships from Deaver.

 

I wouldn’t put it past that it was Deaver who botched it. I had a few issues getting things shipped and I ordered directly from them. Good stuff and they corrected to right away but it’s happened to a few folks of varying degrees

 

The shocks you got are for a 2-3" lift, so...

 

Buddy had the same issue with Dakars. Wrong pack was ordered.

How did you order direct? They flat out refused to take a direct order when I called them.
