    Also, I'm going to get my alignment today. Would it be beneficial to add weight to my bed that will represent my normal driving weight? I.e. I am picking up my GFC this weekend which is 250 lbs and pair that with camping gear, water, etc and I'll probably be running 400 on average.

    This is exactly what I have mine set to and I have the C4 bumper :) I mean exactly!

    Its just a tad (1/32") more than 1/8" per turn based on some measuring this weeekend.

    Your setup is the same as mine and measurements are literally within 1/16” of mine. Also running C4-lo pro bumper and winch. Did you run 700# springs?

    Yep, 700 lb springs. Looks like great minds think alike and a lot of us are running very similar setups.

    Wow, I have the exact same setup as you guys. These numbers are going to come in really handy on install day. I will pre-adjust the springs using my spring compressor. Thank you so much for sharing and saving the rest of us some time.

    Yah...seems like most people are 1.5-2” of lift. I don’t recommend going the full 3” of lift. That would be a lot of preload and take away from a good ride these shocks are designed to have

    Just curious why you all chose the level 3 setup vs level 2? Is it the comparison of extra price and performance gain? Off road need?

    I only bought the fronts. I still have my OME rear shocks and 6-leaf Dakar. I can tell the back needs weight while it’s empty...like 200lbs needed to be optimal
