I am really curious as to how these springs ride? Will the ride be firmer, softer, initially softer and progressively get firmer, etc... Depending on the answer, how much softer or firmer? I would love to get the truck sitting up a little higher and squeeze some 37" tires in there. How much work is involved to install the springs?



From the website sounds like low perch ride with top perch height. Easy install, just need a spring compressor

Thanks for the response. I just need further confirmation on how the truck will ride. I believe I recall hearing a few people complain that their truck was too bouncy with Geiser springs, but do not quote me on that; I may have that mixed up with something else. All said and done, if I could get a slightly softer ride, or keep it the same, with two more inches of ride height, that would be wonderful.

Nobody has said that because they just came out

That is true for the Gen 2. I believe the comment was in regards to a Gen 1, and if so, that bounciness issue still may not correlate to what they are offering for a Gen 2.

Everybody likes the gen1 springs. The whole point of these springs is that they are progressive and improve throughout the suspension cycle. The initial spring rate will help for small bumps and the progression will help when pushing harder.

If you're looking for gen1 feedback there's plenty of information already on here in the gen1 section.

Curious if anyone has time on these yet? Heard of some CV angle problems with certain collars, and wondering how the CVs look with these springs.

Thanks

Getting these installed next week, hopefully. Springs are sitting here at my office.

Most likely will be upgrading my Upper Control Arms at the same time.

Will keep you posted.
