[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1645329, member: 31322"] Ahhh, you absolutely can. they’re not dynamic spool valves or triple reservoir king shocks they’re a bunch of metal slats stacked onto one another w/ enough quality baked in they’ll rust nicely within a year. People act like there’s some magic fairy dust on em- IMHO I think more owners would be better off doing w/o em to begin w/ & adding leafs to the stock springs & modifying/swapping out bump stops would be way cheaper - I get that the truck has bad wheel hop, 4A helps, adding leafs would help too, as much as deavers? Not sure not enough people have even bothered trying just automatically go to icon or Deaver or a TQ arm etc, I can tell you one thing for sure though, if special leaf packs were the real cure to wheel hop/axle wrap then the gen3 would have some modified OEM leaf setup, OR much like they do w/ fox or B&O they’d reach out to Deaver directly to make em for Ford. Most likely Ford wouldn’t do that though, b/c again- they’re basic b***h leaf springs & not a Dana axle or an Alison tranny lol once they’re on a gen2 is what it is & im sure they improve the ride, but if they’re gonna sag eventually like stock springs & rust to hell NOT like stock springs, me? I’d just add some leafs to the OEM pack, have em re-arched & call it a day [/QUOTE]
