[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1417860, member: 31322"] I’ve got an ‘18 w/ 16k miles on it & this topic is interesting to me b/c i I tend on keeping the truck a long time (100-150k miles 7 years) so don’t wanna waste $$$ doing something twice so to speak. I’ve been debating adding eibach or Geiser springs to my truck mainly to add some ride height/clearance off-road & for aesthetics + hopefully tighten up the handling/braking slightly on the street. I don’t want to sacrifice comfort on road or ability off-road - I don’t mind a little added stiffness if it’s aiding handling (like when I added bilstein 5100s to previous GM trucks) I planned on upgrading the suspension in stages. I also hate even a slightly nose high stance & I use the Rap as a DD trailer up to 2500-3000 lbs between jet skis/utiiity trailer occasionally & will have 500+ lbs in the bed a few times a month. So figured after the springs get a set of deaver +3s to keep a stance w/ a rake angle similar to factory & be able to handle some weight in the bed w/o squatting bad. I assume I’ll get noticeable squat w/ 500lbs in bed & geiser or eibach springs front stock leafs rear? Between alignment/install/parts you’re looking @ $2700-3000 give or take. Then I found out the stock shocks are recommended for rebuild/replacement @ 55k even when used normally. That’ll run ya $1500-2000 or whatever I’m guessing w/ OEM. So I was considering waiting doing nothing or just adding 1.5” rpg collars for the moment leaving a lil take & then in 1-1.5 years when I’m coming up for the shocks needing replacement/rebuilding anyhow pulling trigger on some high end stuff. Question- I assume icon/king/fox 3.0 shocks/coil overs also add a bit of ride height? Is there any benefit to increase ability to handle payload w/o squatting? Are you leaving rear leafs stock? Will they alleviate axle wrap like deavers ?(another thing that made me want them) [/QUOTE]
