Finally finished the rear suspension this week.

I already had RPG Stage 3 Includes RPG Frame Support Kit, Fox 2.0 Air Bumps and Deaver Leaf Springs +4HD. Along with Fox 3.0 Live Valve with bypass, zero drop RPG billet shackle.

I added RPG traction bars and had deaver make me new leaf springs same set up that RPG runs on shop truck. They are custom made adds 2 more inches over +4HD called RPG +6 HD and they painted them black so no more rust.

I had no clue how different the ride would be. I cant say if its the deavers, the traction bars or combo of both. It feels like a car in the back. No more bounce or harsh ride. Very smooth ride, no sway at all like a giant sway bar was installed. The obvious no wheel hop and more tire to road connection from traction bars. The deavers lifted rear 2 more inches (see pic) will do 37s after I finish the front which will be also raised 2 inches to match back height with fox coil overs.

Could not be any more happy with rear set up.

Added billet diff cover in blue.

Front set up going on next week along with upgrading primary shock and spring to Fox coil over live valve 3.0 not in pic. I had RPG send out spring to get powder coated blue to match spindle.

I already have RPG tie roads and upper control arms see pic.

Will be upgrading to CPR Stage 5 turbos and manifolds. Adding Stage 3 XDI 60 HPFP, JMS Fuelmax fuel pump voltage booster for stock pump in tank to support the air flow and run straight E85. AMS boost tubes. @wgr73 aka goose tuned will do all tuning on net set up. @RPG will do install of all parts.

Almost same exact set up as this one. Go to 5min mark for the 3.5 set up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT5gKYlE0Sk&feature=emb_logo&ab_channel=TheFastLaneTruck

I was today years old when I learned I needed RPG ladder bars...I have the eibach springs up front, and the ARE Overland topper. Once I added the topper the rear sits an inch, maybe 2, lower than the front. Drives me nuts. And the wheel hop. I don't think I'd fit in my parking garage at the office if I did 37s and some springs in the rear, but do you know what would just bring it level in the back? Man this is pretty....I have the same wheels, just black.

Rear was deaver +4 HD and was level with front which is eibach for now. My cap and rpg wheel cage is about 400lbs so +4 be to much on empty bed.

what are you doing to raise the front up now that you added another 2 in the rear? Spindles alone going to net you that?
