    Damn right.. everyone will have their own setup. For what works for them. I’m sure everyone’s experience with different setups can help other folks. As well as me. I’m upping to option 2 on the rxt’s and will update my experience on it on/off-road.

    This whole time I thought you were rocking he rxt packs. The oem packs do great. The flex well and rode good for me.
    I was wondering if it was a short bed thing for leaf packs to go flat faster?Since no long bed a lot of weight is hanging more on the rear of the packs.

    leaf pack does look flat here. i'd like to see option 2 with the same weight.

    K37s,

    Do they NEED TC shackle or would they work with CB?

    NVM seems like Matt @mcmfab makes a custom set for his Deaver/ADS set up .

    They should work with CB shackles. I would just change the bushings out to some poly's that CB usually sell with.

    Actually it depends on which CB the +3 are too long and allow the pack to arch negative.

    Deaver recommends the TC shackles. I use the MCM ones, they are almost identical in dimensions.

    TC left and MCM right?

    Looks like about .25" difference in ride height

    I don’t think this has been mentioned, but anyone consider SUA yet? While still maintaining the tow capacity and such?

    I know MCM was working on SUA swaps with either dealers or Alcans and 3.0” 3T bypasses to match the front.

    well got my ride back from valley spring services and GOD DAMMMMMM DOES IT FEEL GOOD I increased ride height by 2in on one side and 2.5 on the other so im much closer to the middle of the bypass. at the recommendation of my shock guy i softened up my short tube(closest zone to bump) and increased a lil on the long tube(ride height) and added 2 turns of dampening to the rebound. i dont have video confirmation but the buck is gone...my ass end stayed planted over everything. the truck feels entirely different

    my front floats over stuff really smooth around 50-55 but my rear would always stack up and buck on me, so i mostly hang out around the 40mph zone which kept the rear end down but wasnt a smooth ride, the truck was saying "go faster or go slower this speed sucks"

    testing out the new pack yesterday, after building some confidence in the rear i was starting to mash into stuff faster and faster..doing the o shit grip and tense up cus i thought it was going to hit hard and or kick up on me...none of the above happened..the faster i went the smaller the hits felt on the front, and while im sure the rear may have hopped a lil at times, its was small and controlled and certainly no bucking...

    im in love..here's some before and after pics of the springs...filming more on thursday

    Good to hear. I’ve been in contact with Matt, I assume it’s Matt from MCM, and will be looking at the same avenue soon.

    Just waiting on the 3.0 bypasses to be finished. SUA with 3.0 triple bypass and ADS bumps all under the bed. Should be able to get 16in of travel. Going Deaver I96 xHD springs but only good for about 500lbs.
