How many miles on your truck?

I just redid mine at 56k with eibachs, a fresh set of take offs on all four corners and +3HD, world of difference, I shouldnt have waited so long.

Just looking for opinions on what setup to go with in the rear. I am torn between +2 HD and +3HD. I have an ARE CX topper on my truck, and load up a few times a year for hunting trips or towing my boat. The other 75% of the time it’s just the topper and some miscellaneous **** in the bed. I’m looking to get rid of the sag from the topper and have some reinforcement when I throw extra weight in the back. I want to stay as close as possible to stock height and don’t want/need an expensive bump stop setup when I eliminate the stock bumps. Is the +3HD going to sag back to stock height-ish with just the weight of the topper? Is the +2HD going to be back to stock height with some wiggle room for about 300-350lbs of gear? Thanks in advance.
Definitely go with the +3HD. Jeff (I think is his name) at Deavers will tell you the same. I have the +3HD on my 2020 and they have worked out perfectly hauling gear and towing my fishing boat. No sag at all. Perfectly level towing a 21 ft fishing boat.

Here is mine with Deaver K96HD +3 Raptor springs. I'll be running a chase rack (spares, fuel, jack, air, etc.) and wanted the extra height and capacity. Should sag a bit once its set up.

Deavers are on a minimum 6 week lead time. Called a bunch of places and no one has them in stock. Need them in three weeks, unfortunately, so now I'm looking at the Icon pack. Feel like it's a major step down.
