Hello Gen1 guys,

At the moment I have installed 3.0 Fox shocks on the rear and Deaver +3, and Fox 3.0 on the front.

Now the Deaver +3 are to stiff and I wanna go back to stock leafs or ICON leafs. But when go back to stock, the truck need to be leveled in the rear. What can I do? Install a extra load leaf?

Is the ICON leaf way softer compared to the Deaver +3? Any experence?

Thank you
Daniel

Are they standard or HD leaf springs? I have +3 and they are not stiffer, way better over stock.

I have a set of stock leafs of you really want to change

My wife thinks I only have 3 guns

Lots of different places
I think I would throw some weight in the bed before going back to stock...or adjust compression on the shocks...

3.0 are way stiffer then stock shocks.
You basically have to adjust them all the way open to get them soft for the street but you'll loose what the shocks we're meant for.

If you bought the non HD Deavers springs they are softer than stock, doesn't matter if there +2 or +3.
