[QUOTE="bigrig, post: 1171276, member: 11383"] [SIZE="3"]I am running Geiser coils on mid perch with the RPG Heavy Duty leafs and RPG shackles in the rear (I think the leafs are made by National but not sure). I get a bit of a forward rake without anything in the bed. But when loaded up with a chase rack, tools, power tank and a spare, it levels out nicely. Jumping the truck and riding at speed offroad (80+ mph) works really well, I would argue possibly better, with the added weight in the back. I am also running the RPG bumpstop and rear frame support. I have been really happy with this setup, especially offroad. But if you are looking for a level ride when unloaded, this is probably not the setup for you. Here is what the truck looked like right after I installed the leafs and shackles: [ATTACH=full]272132[/ATTACH] Here is a (not so great, but the only) pic I have of the truck when it is fully loaded down: [ATTACH=full]272133[/ATTACH] I should also note that offroading with weight in the back makes the springs settle more so when you do unload it the rake is not as severe. Here is what it looks like today unloaded: [ATTACH=full]272134[/ATTACH] Giving RPG a call would be a good place to get more info, they should be able to tell you how much rake to expect with different setups since they offer the Deavers too. Hope this helps. ~bigrig[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
