- Overall I am really happy with these suspension mods. While they do provide a bit of a lift, I would say overall these Deavers +3HD leaf springs and the Eibach front springs are a good upgrade over the factory setup. The next logical step I suppose would be 3.0 shocks. hmmm...

That look really good! Approved!
Man, this truck is a dream! It’s almost too good to be true.
@@TheAllAmericanDriver say that once you have bigger turbos 😈🤣
@@Lethal_Venom You REALLY want me to get bigger turbos! hahaha. Maybe when these turbos go out, I hear they don't last forever.
@@TheAllAmericanDriver I always encourage people to spend money when it’s not my money 😂
@@Lethal_Venom HAHAHAHA
Planning on doing the same then put on 37s for the snow season
Oh yeah... I could probably fit 37s in there now huh? 🇺🇸
@@TheAllAmericanDriver gonna get rubbing on full articulation and you can't jump truck anymore...I never gonna jump and rarely hit that limit. Gonna put ko2 cuz they run smaller then normal 37s
@@ruskiyify91 I hear that normal 35inch KO2s are bigger than the stock 35inch KO2s. "True 35" is a term I keep hearing.
@@ruskiyify91 I do want to keep the option to jump the truck! :)
For science.
have you had any issues with your CV Boots tearing. I had to switch from Eibach to Geiser springs because the Eibachs lifted my front end too much causing too much stress to my CV Boots. This was on a Gen 1 Raptor
Hi Chris, I have not had any negative issues. I've even towed a small trailer across country on different terrain since this install.
@@TheAllAmericanDriver do you have a Gen 1 raptor? Because the lift of the springs is different then on gen 1 Raptors and your shocks already lift your truck higher then on Gen 1s
Did you do your alignment after tampering with suspension?
I didn't rush out to do it, but yes I did eventually.
Definitely not an actual ruin the truck lift . I just got gieser springs with dever +3s . gonna do a Texas shock works program. have them do some magic on those. set it to mid purch with springs and deavers. little better off road while still good on road. Great budget build .
TSW will be my first choice when I rebuild the shocks! Sounds like were on a similar path!
Are you still liking the ride and how did she settle?
I still like it over stock. I have a lot of miles towing my small travel trailer, and it still feels very solid and planted.
Did you have to align the truck after the install?
I did not align the truck immediately after, I waited a few months and many many miles for things to settle before I got it aligned during my next oil change.
Got it thanks 👍🏼
What was the. Cost?
I paid about 1500 for parts and similar for labor.
Not a lift at all. Significant spring improvement. I did a 2018 Gen 2 adding Geiser 3” up front and Icon Option 2 in the back. Replaced the stock bump stock with Raptor specific Sumo Springs to get more protection. Added SDHQ Bump Stop pad to the back. Similar but not identical to yours.
It is a lift 🛻
We can keep the ladder in the back for you!
