    I make my own shackles to sell with the deavers. They are roughly 1.25" longer than stock.

    It' my daily driver. The ride unloaded is really good in my opinion. Now everyone is different so how it feels is subjective. But for me compared to stock it is not as mushy feeling, it is more controlled. Off-road compared to stock it is night and day better. And loaded up with tredpros, shovel, tools, compresser, full size spare, ice chest and all the other crap. The ride is awesome no sag. The on and off-road performance is great. I love my setup for the way I use my truck. Only thing I'm gonna add back there is bumpstop kit as soon as MCM and ADS have it ready to go. Hope this helps .

    For the empty bed delima I would say you need to really decide how your truck is gonna be used. High speed off-road not loaded up with to much gear. Or more of a loaded up with gear not so high speed off-road runs.

    Haha, not the only two options but just a quick general way to think about it. We all use our trucks very different.

    I should have added with that, the one spring pack would ride a little stiffer than the other unloaded. So just depends on your needs and intentions of how the truck will be used. Was what I was trying to get at:)

    I was under the impression that upgraded bumps were not that necessary w a bypass rear since the non bypass at the top was heavily damped. True? Not true?

    Bypasses do have a bump zone, but having extra bottom out resistance is never a bad thing, especially with limited uptravel of SOA.

    But yes, bypasses do have an effective bumpstop zone.

    Btw... not that I’ve seen anyone use this, but damper vs dampener or dampened usage is a pet peeve of mine. ;-)

    When the app works properly and has push notifications it makes it easier for me to help answer questions.
