Geisers w/ shock perches

[thegrays]

So I got geisers for Gen 1 and worried about the angles of UCA and rc axle with geiser on mid perch. The website describes the geisers for mid perch. I was wondering if geiser would ride fine on bottom perch so I worry less about the angles. Also what’s the increase in ride height over stock with geiser plus mid perch. Rise over stock from just geiser springs and bottom perch as well. TIA

Mine are on bottom perch and they ride great.

My oem setup was worn out but it was on mid perch and i dont see a difference between new shocks and geisers vs the worn shocks and springs on mid. Idk numbers.

The Geiser website claims their springs on midperch are +2.5".

I've had Geisers on mid perch for several years now and have no issues. Truck sits level but i have Deaver +2SD in the rear as well

So it's really good on sudden impacts without bottoming out, yet it's not a rough or harsh ride and there's still enough rebound for daily driving? (I hope I hope I hope)

So it’s 2.5 inches including the mid perch or 2.5 inches jus the spring

Yea so stock rear end it’ll have a pronounced squat I’m on top perch and you literally can’t tell Although it’s like 1/4 inch squatted but mid perch w/ the geiser sounds like a lotta squat

Biggest difference i noticed is small bump compliance. Small pot holes, man hole covers, asphalt patches are super smooth with geisers

I do 90% road driving and i feel geisers on mid is plenty comfortable however i have not done a back to back comparison. Any spring on low perch will be a softer ride but you may get more dive on hard braking and most likely your truck will sit low in the front. I put mine on a long time ago but i was in mid with stocks and the geisers on mid and i thought the ride was great. Also, assuming your perches are seized you can always change perch settings with some basic tools and a little mechanical knowledge. The rpg website has a good video on how to change the perch without removing the shock

The rpg website has a good video on how to change the perch without removing the shock or your fingers.

Fixed it for you.
