The suspension on my truck is completely stock and I noticed this when cleaning the other day. This had to have happened when I was wheeling in Hollister. My time there was all slow speed climbing. I’m really surprised contact was made here. It’s in the front of the well. Now I’m thinking deavers, but I want to keep the stock height. Maybe +3’s with the 2” rpg shackles, what do you think?

Stock wheels and tires too?

+2 leafs gets you back to stock because you remove the 2" block. +3 provides about 1" higher. The drop shackles will get you back down to stock height. If you are rubbing though, you might want to stick with getting the 1" higher and not use a longer shackle.

We are a RPG reseller so would ship both direct from them to you. Deavers are about 2 weeks out.

Are the plus 3 a stiffer spring set up or same ride quality kit with extra added leafs for the 1” difference. I’m shopping around for the best price on deavers.

Taking the truck to TMX to install my Icon spacers, then turbo adapters, +3 deavers, 37" tires and wheels with front fender trim mod for full clearance. Will post up pics on Thursday. My wife says the stock truck isn't big enough. [emoji16] awesome woman!

slaughter, My Gen1 had deavers also, they ride smoother than stock as it is an 11 spring pack vs stock 3 spring. They are each thinner so you get a progressive flex.
