Getting it done on the truck without removing the spring/shock assembly is a time saver!

I was debating whether to go with the Geiser springs or install Icon collar I have sitting in my grage. I am going to go ahead and do the collar this weekend (hopefully on the truck...).

As the title says. Installed my RPG 2.25inch perch collar yesterday.

For anyone that is on the fence, it was prob. one of the easiest things I have done.

Step 1 - remove wheel
Step 2 - compress spring
Step 3 - install Collar

Did not end up unbolting anything. Just compressed the spring to the point where I could install the Collar.

Leveled the truck out perfect. Will be getting 37's soon and will update with new tire pics.

You will be able to do them on the truck with these...

Few things to make it easier. Jack up the bottom of the strut as much as you can to help compress the spring. Once you get the spring fully compressed with the spring compressors, i used a sludge hammer and 2x4 to knock up the original collar that the spring sits on. Made easy work of it. Let me know if you have any questions when doing it. Impact and swivels are your friend.
