    Between the armor, sliders, and high rise cap my truck has taken on a noticeable squat even unloaded. Gotta fix this.
    Add a leaf pack? Which one? Icon?

    I did Coachbuilder shackles on mine, maybe not the best solution but got it back to level. I wasn’t looking to change the ride, I have a similar setup and it drives nicely.

    I installed the RAS HD too, a good investment in my opinion. Look into it, easy install also. I got mine from etrailer.com super fast shippers and good price.

    Done. Installing the afternoon it gets here. Thanks for the suggestion. Sent me down another research rabbit hole and I think this will work nicely.
    HD ordered. We'll see how she do!

    Has anyone used the RAS off road? Do you still get full flex up and down?
    I've searched around and only posts ive found online are very old from a guy with a Jeep Cherokee showing it flexed just fine. I haven't seen anything on here (unless ive missed it) but i do notice the RAS system for our trucks does not move the bumpstop, so i assume we are good?

    I haven't done any hardcore wheeling, but I haven't had any issues with mine. I also have friend with it and he hasn't had any either.

    I did some serious trails in CO last week. No issues. Truck killed some stuff that folks said I had no business taking a full sized truck down. Side by sides were turning around.

    RAS HD installed. Set with black and white disc stacked and easily passed.
    Here she is loaded to the gills for 2 weeks off grid in the mountains. Decked system installed as well. Ride is incredible loaded or unloaded. When she is light it's more fun to drive than it was stock. Before all the weight from armor, camper shell, and Decked drawers. Great buy. Thanks for all the recommendations!

    You made a good choice. Doing a shackle level reduces spring rate and over time doesn't really fix the problem if constantly loaded.

    Nice shot of SW Colorado. Those SxS were a bunch of sissies. :rofl: Probably rentals.

    Those wheels in that lighter shade look great on there! I would never wash them again!

    Very nice!! We have very similar setup, DC with topper and decked system. I'm happy to hear you stacked the washers for your tension. I'm set up with the thick spacer only currently, but i'd like to crank a little more into it. Are you running stock yellow shocks?

    Mineral Creek scared the old folks on their OHVs. We had a white knuckle blast!

    Shame, got me thinking these OR wheels would look great in a machined finish…..

    edit: all machined that is, no black filler
