I just took out the springs from mine. I'm not planning on doing 37's neither dealers 3+ to level it and it was noticeably higher in front for me. If anyone is interested shoot me a message.

Anybody else put theirs on? What do you think?

My passenger side seems to rebound super quick over steep speed bumps and rocks. Asked the installer and he says their shouldnt be a difference but I notice it when I drive.

Seeing what other people thought. Geiser didnt bother responding to my email.

The springs only good for about 2 1/2 inches so I would suggest put the springs on put your adjustable set to a half-inch and go from there

Status update:

Pulled the RPG collars off (for sale, hit me up)

I put 3,000 + miles on the new set up (road trip). Geisers are definitely firmer than the factory set up, but HUGE, I mean HUGE, improvement in on road ride quality over my RPG adjustable collars set to 3". Extremely happy on road. Will see how she handles off road. Definitely a bit of loud thunk when the front suspension droops out (at least that's what it sounds like to my not mechanically inclined brain and ears).

As far as height, I basically got the same height (so close you cannot really see a difference with the eye) from the Geisers as I had with stock springs and RPG collars set to 3". So this was the perfect solution for me.

If you're on the fence, I highly recommend these springs.

I agree they ride smooth on road. I gotta take them off road on something more fast paced as I only have taken the truck recently to a small off road area that is slower and more rock crawling than baja style.

I guess we are experiencing the same thing in regards to a loud thump. Mine does it over large speed bumps but only on my passenger side....

Other than that the truck rides great, I will probably add the deavers to the rear though to level the truck out a bit better.

My spring just showed up today. Hoping to install them in the next couple of weeks. For those of you that have them is there enough adjustment in the stock control arms for a proper alignment or do I need to be looking into at least upper control arms? Thanks

Agree. On road, I would say my +3 Deavers feel firmer now than the Geisers up front. I feel the bumps more in the seat than through the steering wheel and cowl shake.

I probably carry more weight in the bed than the average non-working Gen 2 guy. (Ford OEM bed mat, 37" spare, large box full of recovery and emergency gear, full size floor jack, etc.) My truck was basically level before suspension work and has maintained that state of level with the Giesiers and Deaver +3 combo. I'm just sitting a lot higher now with that combo on 37s.

I can't say for sure, because I went with the ICON Delta Joint billet UCA and the Rogue Slot Delete kit, different offset wheels, etc. So I think my alignment is now done mostly via the UCA heims.

Might be a good time to do the UCA while your front end is apart if you think you might want them later. Not sure how hard you plan to run your truck off road.

I found Geiser Off-Road to be very responsive (FB Messenger and email). I would ask them, but I don't think you should have any problem staying with the stock UCA.

Talked to Wyn at Geisers and was told you do not need After market upper control arms to run these spring. Of course you will need to get the alignment checked but other then that just put them on and go.

Is everyone who is running these springs also experiencing said loud thunk when the front suspension is unloaded? I'd like to order the geisers, but for the price, Id be disappointed and concerned with mechanical noises like that...
