[QUOTE="zombiekiller, post: 1262569, member: 25186"] The ride characteristics with 1.5" collars is pretty much perfect for the spring rate from the factory. Gets rid of the nose dive when braking without going too stiff. When I had the RPG collars on my truck at 2.5" it was definitely stiffer than i would have liked ( just a little bit). I've since graduated to fox remote resi coilovers and I'd never go back. The gen 2 leaf springs are a fair amount softer than Gen1s. Switching to deavers has been the best bang for the buck mod for me. I recently pulled off my drop shackles after going to the new coilovers in the front. Deaver +3s with drop shackles paired with front fox dsc factory series coilovers left me dragging ass by about an inch with 2 spares, pro eagle big wheel, and my tools in the bed. Pulled the drop shackles and went to camburg shackles and i'd now 1/4" high in the rear fully loaded. We'll see how she does at TRR. I might either add a leaf from Deaver or bring the front down a little bit if it isn't quite right. an additional word of wisdom. Drop shackles will do nothing for your travel numbers if you aren't going to a bypass rack and longer shocks. with the drop shackles, the factory rear shocks become your limit straps, which is no bueno.
