    GEN 2 Geiser springs and shock travel.

    top out is actually the term for the shock fully extending, extension clunck damages the shocks and possibly the shock tower (there’s other threads) besides the damage having only a few inches of droop isn’t really a good suspension setup, fox only recommends raising the truck an inch, imo any...

    GEN 2 Geiser springs and shock travel.

    Ok so you lost your droop travel with the springs and you have extension clunk, return to stock springs or get the foutz limit strap kit, get collars if you want the front higher

    Wastegate Rattle on Startup Fix?

    it’s a bit tricky but look carefully at the pictures, gloves might save your hands on the fender liner but definitely don’t remove the wheel, if I did it anybody can!

    Leaf springs lift block size

    any leaf spring shop can add leaves for about half the cost of new springs and re arch

    Does anyone make a limit strap kit frt or rear?

    I think the spring (preload) problems are at full compression causing coil bucket failures so limit straps aren’t going to help that. collars are preferable to springs to avoid the issues apparently fwiw i’ve seen coil buckets fail with aftermarket coilovers, limit straps in the front prevent...

    Mid Travel vs Stock Width

    once you have the RST18 the front will want mid travel e clik won’t be possible after RST 18 i’m doing king secondary with stock width and boxed steel uca, lca as you are suggesting but it’s a compromise, mid travel ftw get on the wait list for the foutz boxed steel spindle with double shear...

    3.0 vs. 3.5 secondary bypass?

    he should have over 18” rear travel with his 3.5s and the front mid travel probably applies more leverage to those front shocks mounted inboard so a 3.5 secondary probably makes sense

    Flattened leaf springs

    flattened leaves will sag more than 1/2” eibachs may settle close to 1/2” rearch your stock leaves and add a couple of leaves 1/2 the deaver cost, deavers sag too by the way

    Fabtech UCA Any Good?

    missing hardware? what’s missing? if they’re threaded and adjustable heims at the frame side they’re probably ok, if they’re non adjustable there’s no point…

    Re-arching Deaver Springs

    totally agree with car stereo, rearch and add a leaf, leaf spring shops are everywhere and this is easily done for 1/2 the new deaver cost

    Thoughts? Pocket Replacement kit works w/stock arms, any aftermarket LCA's & long travel kits

    indeed the lca pockets are exposed and easily damaged with a frame cut bumper. remember the pockets are part of crash management. the foutz replacement is a nice part, they advised me to repair the pockets if possible, weld in doubling plates, pocket bridge and frame strengthening front and rear...

    worn tie rods

    the tie rods, inner and outer are designed to protect the steering rack, replacing inner or outer tie rods is much cheaper than a rack. be glad it’s tie rods and not the $2500 rack did you mean 37” tires?

    Front Ride Height/Preload w Fox Factory 3.0 Coilovers

    as well as steering and axel angle problems remember at 43” front height you will only have 3 to 4” of droop travel

    small bumps, big problem

    You may have some bumpsteer from changing the ride height (how much did you raise?) and altering angles but it sounds like you need another shop to check your alignment, rack, cv axels, inner tie rods and steering shaft for issues. uca’s are stronger and articulate better but don’t really affect...
