GEN 1 Suspension upgrades

[coachhomer]

All, I am about to order the following parts to upgrade my suspension...

Fox 3.0 front and rear shocks
Deaver +3 HD rear springs
Icon bump stop
Icon UCA
ADD tie rods

I have 2 questions:
1. How should I stage the install in the back to maximize my productivity? In what order should I install the parts?
2. Any recommendations or suggestions before I tackle this project?

Many thanks!

Grab parts and once you've got it all dive in and do all at once

Sounds like a solid setup!

You doing yourself, or having done ? BTW the truck is going to rip with that combo.

If you're doing one part at a time I'd probably go bump stops first to avoid frame damage. From there you could piece it together as you see fit. Me personally one at a time

bumps
deavers
shocks
tie rods
uca

Thanks. I poorly communicated. I will have all of the parts. What I am wondering is when I do the back, what order should I work on it to make the job as easy as possible? Should I install the new springs and then the bump stop as the axle supported and then finish with the shocks or is there a better order of operation?

Thanks!

Why the rear shackles? And do you recommend a slot delete kit?
