[QUOTE="rkneeshaw, post: 1347882, member: 24122"] So I've had an adventure with rear leaf springs. I liked the WSI HD's, but even with the RPG lowering shackle raised the rear of the truck a little too high for my taste: [ATTACH=full]290698[/ATTACH] So I went to RPG and Deaver and they recommended I try the Deaver +2 HD. Well those turned out to be pretty much identical in ride height to the WSI HD when both were installed with the RPG drop shackles. And with the stock shackle, it just looked a bit silly: [ATTACH=full]290699[/ATTACH] Deaver support is amazing. Scott over there was super helpful and didnt even hesitate to completely take care of me. I am very impressed with Deaver! So after sending me a standard Deaver +2 leaf pack, I got it installed with stock shackles: [ATTACH=full]290700[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]290701[/ATTACH] I couldn't be happier. Truck sits and rides perfect. I took ride height measurements too. I took these from the middle of the hub to the fender flare, not from the ground (so there's no variance due to tire pressure, temperature, or tire size): Stock: 27.5" WSI HD with drop shackle: 28.5" Deaver +2 HD with stock shackle: 29.75" Deaver +2 with stock shackle: 28" I also made a small modification to my VHF external speaker setup. The sound was muffled just enough to bug me, so I created my own grill by drilling some holes in the trim panel. [ATTACH=full]290702[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]290703[/ATTACH] Sounds awesome now and I can hear the radio chatter over all the ruckus :) I've made some changes to my Baja Designs lighting setup, and applied some OptiCoat PPF to the truck, I'll add some details in a future update.
