Am I the only one that hates the ride of geiser springs? Progressive springs are

they have a light sort of vibration/oscillation to them on a smoothish road, I would still rather have them than a perch though. depends on the road, they are off road parts after all.....

^ interesting I feel the front end is much more stable with the Geiser springs and rides perfect IMO

it's nearly imperceptible and the truck overall feels way better....to be fair, i have yet to do the alignment, maybe it is affecting the situation.

They are stiffer but man oh man turn those babies loose in Baja and the faster she goes the more she likes it.

I have not installed 37's yet but I will most likely swap to some K02 37s soon. Here is a pic of how it currently sits with stock 35s.

Deaver +3
Geiser
Has a bed cover, spray in bed liner, bed mat added and spare tire removed.

Wow, that looks great! I also have a magnetic SCREW so nice to see how it comes out with that set up. How do you like the Geisers?

Here is mine same set up on stock tires.

I keep contemplating 37s but really don't mind the 35's

That's a good looking truck! I've been eyeing those ADD bumpers! How do you like the stealth fighter?

You can retain rear bump stops with Deavers. But you will need to purchase a set of SDHQ FORD RAPTOR REAR BUMP STOP MOUNTS since the OEM bump stop mounts are part of the block on the OEM leafs which you are removing.

These cost about $200 +/-

IMO might as well do some real bump stops if you plan on doing some decent off-roading.

For those that are interested, I found that Forged Offroad also makes a bump pad that'll work with Deavers but I agree, might as well do it right the 1st time and go hydraulic.

Mines actually a Leadfoot but regardless I am very happy with the setup. My 37s should be here Monday or Tuesday so I’ll post another pic when I get them on.

Ah, lighting looked magnetic but same same. You'll have to do an update with those 37s and any trimming you had to do. Looks good with the 35s so I'm betting 37s will REALLY stand out! People on here say the ride stiffens with the Geisers, have you found that to be true?

^ the front rides slightly stiffer with the geisers making the rear stock leafs feel wallowy and not as solid as the front especially at speed but once you put the deavers on they ride perfectly together.

My Geiser springs and bump stop pads are being delivered today. The Deavers look to be coming on the 19th(just got the shipping email). I also got some AMSOIL metal protector to spray on the Deavers to hopefully help with rusting. Can't wait to have my shop do the install. They have quoted me $750 for the install of the Springs and Deavers and will also do an alignment. Might be a little high but they have great reviews and i don't really have alot of shops in the area to pick from. I'll post some pics when its all done. Will probably do 37's some time down the road. I really want to do an upgraged intercooler next.
