Shackle drops the rear end 1" and allows for additional articulation on long travel kits.

0 Offset. If I had a Gen 2, I'd go with this exact set up.....at least until i long traveled it with our BOLT/RST combination. :)
Any time offroad with 3" collars? Does performance suffer with that much tension on the springs?

Personally no, but we have many customers that drive their trucks hard with all 3 sizes of RPG collars; dating back to January of this year when we first introduced them. No issues.

Fresh 37 KO2s, Method standards, RPG 3" collars up front and Deaver +3s with RPG shackles. [emoji14][emoji1417]. Measures 40" from ground to top of wheel well on all 4 corners.

How were you able to stay level with 3+ front spacer, 3+ rear Deavers and shackles (which lower about an 1'?). End result of 3" ride quality? I think it is too soft factory. I was recommended to run your 3+ Deavers and shackles with 2.25 front. I would like to run 37's until all the fender bedside brands have come to market. Then upgrade.

I'm running the +3s and 3" collar. Loaded with rack/gear, Im ~ level with the front, and ride is incredible. Empty bed, im ass high. With stock leafs i was noise high.

I think the 3" collar and +3's are a great pairing. I bought the drop shackles to not have an ass high look, but doesn't look to be necessary for me currently, and can retain a cushier ride. May be different on another truck tho. Id think you would want a 3" collar at minimum for 37's. The shackled rear and the 2.25" do make sense though. I'm only sitting ~2.00-2.25" higher than stock up front with the 3" collar. I do a lot of 4H use when on runs, lotta jumping and G outs, no cases of CV/torsen binding issues at this height. Ideally id like to get slightly more height up front, but the 3" collars are really a perfect match for these leafs.

This is the feedback I was looking for. Stellar my friend, by chance you have a picture? I dislike the soft factory front and donkey kicking ass end. I plan to run 2 spares in the bed. I didn't want the front to get over stiff. So much easier with adjustable coil overs. SVC has a good concept but alot of money when I plan to upgrade the coil overs next year anyway. I worked with RPG today and landed on 3" front, 3" rear and fame support bump kit. Next year I will move to RST rear and Bolt front with fenders and bedsides. Ill play with 37's to check fit and stay with 35's if need be.

I have the 3.5 rpg, thinking of doing the +3 deavers, do you guys think i'd be ass high ? Main reason for me to get the deavers is because my rear tire is destroying my fender every time i hit a bump...

yes, I am ass high with +3s and 2.25" front collars.

level would be 2.25" collars and +2's, or 2.25" collars and +3's with 1" drop shackles, or 3" collars with +3's.
