May need a leaf pack?

Drawbacks? Well, they tend to snag on stuff, like when you're offroading, and they can hang up/drag stuff. Additionally will bend, so then you will not be able to remove the nuts if you need to, you'd have to cut the U bolts. Besides, it just lacks the look of a pro installer, just a sign of not paying attention to detail, etc.

Gotcha. Will be sure to cut them off then!

Hey rusty what do you have installed up front?

I’m running 5100’s set on the 3rd notch for 1.1” of lift with stock springs.

So you have a lift block, right? That exaggerates axle wrap and increases wear on that portion of the spring.

Ideally, a spring, should have only enough rate and geometry to support the intended weight at the desired ride height. This eliminates the spring out of the equation, leaving the shocks to control all the dampening. This requires a serious upgrade in shocks; something you can have valved to your need. More so, when you add additional unsprung weight in the way of heavier wheels and tires.

Rarely are off-shelf a one size fits all; if ever. The best person to weigh compromise and need, is you.

I'm only going on about all this, because ride comfort seems to be a factor for you.

Considering your 1" lift requirement, I would suggest the following.
-If you 'never' haul cargo; Deavers.
-If you've added weight, but 'never' haul cargo; get a custom set made or the ICON RXT that has a level of adjustability.
Even then, these are somewhat a compromise in ride heght and/or spring rate. Anything else is too much of a compromise in ride height and spring rate, if comfort is a major factor.

If you haven't seen this video, I suggest watching it.

Thanks for info. Looks like I’ll be going with the deavers. However I may need to raise the front more because the deavers add 1.5” of lift I’m assuming and I don’t want a huge amount of rake.

Ask around...
Deaver has been claiming 1.5" since 2nd gen. IIRC, there's a 1/2" difference between 2nd and 3rd.
Or, see where you're at after they've settled in.
