PM sent. What about the rear? Is Deavers the only/best option?

I'd say Deavers is your best option. There are some other companies out there...National Leaf Springs comes to mind, but I have Deavers and love them and have only heard positive reviews for the Deavers. Everyone says they ride better and more comfortable than Nationals.

None of the progressive leafs packs are cheap though.

Um, Atlas garners nothing but positive reviews as well. Granted mostly for jeep owners. But this combo on my truck has me completely satisfied.

Hey - while we are anxiously waiting for these to come out, how about recapping some installation / maintenance items so we are prepared when the time comes to install.


Thanks in advance.....


Patience young grasshopper.....

I emailed Wyn for a "How to" and will report back as soon as I can

Super easy, but you'll either need a shop that has a heavy enough spring compressor, if you don't have one.

But here is a quick break down of swapping out the front coils, which i did myself with the help of some buddies, one being @m3dragon:

1. Remove tires
2. Loosen top shock nuts (15mm)
3. Remove tierod end from Spindle/knuckle
4. Remove lower shock nut/bolt
5. Remove UCA from spindle/knuckle and support the spindle/knucle with a bungee
6. Remove shock, this will be a little tricky trying to get it out from the LCA, but you can with some pressure
7. Once shock is removed either:
a. Take to a shop to remove old and install new, will probably charge about $40
b. Compress coil
c. Remove coil bucket on top, can be tricky with the top nut, but an impact can do it.
d. Replace coils
8. **NOTE** Your “SVT” on the lower spring cup will probably not line up like it did stock, deal with it.
9. Reverse the top steps to install the shock with the new progressive springs.

All in all it took us about 4 to 5 hours to swap out both springs and get my truck back on the ground.

If anyone is local to Sacramento, we can help. We have a heavy duty spring compressor and a shop to help.
