I just installed the Deavers +3 and the Geisers. I forgot that the RPG' perch collars I had on front replaced the stock 'spring clip' on the Fox Shocks. So the RPG's are on as well. It is sitting 2.5" higher in the front. So I am going to remove the perch collars. I do not like the nose hihg look.

I measured and my back end is only 42" from the ground to the bottom of the wheel well. That seems low. I will get a pic when the rain stops. I thought I would be more along the lines of 44". Anyone else?

Thanks!

Matt

You still on 315/70s?

And yeah you definitely do not want any collars on the front shocks with the Geisers.

Yes, still Running stock tires. Got a set of the spring clips coming. So the collars are coming off soon!

Deavers +3’s should raise the rear by 1” when using stock shackles and an empty bed.

That was the plan, but I should have measured first. Any stockers have a height for me?

Thanks!

My truck sits exactly level @ all 4 corners 43.5"

Geiser Springs - Deaver +3's and RPG bump stop kit on OEM BFG tires

That is what I was thinking mine would sit at. I am curious if the rear will tick up a bit once I redistribute weight back to the front after removing the collars. I should be able to get that done in the next day or so. But with the front 2.5" higher, I think it is holding the back down a bit. But then again, I am an accountant...not an engineer!

Are you sure you got the +3's?? Mine actually sat really high at first and now I have like 5K miles on them and some offroading so they have settled down.... They were probably an inch higher when first put on compared to how they sit now.

Also did you put a bump stop kit on? Snap some pictures if you can of where the lead meets the axle with the ubolts if you can.

The front being nose high should not affect the height of the rear by any means.

If you count the leafs their should be 13 all together on the +3s the smallest one on the bottom is only a few inches long and they progress from their.
