    My truck has been dropped off at the shop for Charger installation. Hopefully I get it back on Wednesday. Fender flares have been dropped at body shop and calipers are going in for a paint refresh being that they look used. Rotors, ss lines and pads are on order as well.

    New update, suspension has been built and will ship out. I hope to get it by mid next week. Charger install is definitely taking longer than I had hoped, but on the flip side I don't want it rushed. So I guess good things come to those who wait and waiting I am.

    I've also made my decision on the wheels, I will go with Method Roost in black. I wish the big brakes would work with 18s so I'm forced into 20s. I will figure out tire size after the suspension is installed. I was told with the new leaf back that the rear will be about and inch higher than stock. My plan is to bring the front close to level. So somewhere between 3 and 4 inches in front. I am open to tire sizes and options. I want the width 12 or less. As for tire hight not bigger than 35" I'm actually not looking forward to 35s. I actually don't want the rear any higher ,but it is what it is. My drive will consist of 350 miles each way to my cabin and 40 miles round-trip for work. I will hit logging roads and fire roads in the U.P of Michigan while at my cabin. I do a fair amount of snowmobiling so snow will also need to be considered. I'm open to opinions if people care to chime in that have experience.

    I finally picked up my truck! The supercharger exceeded my expectations by a long shot. I can't believe the fit and finish along with the drivability. It runs so smooth. I haven't put a lot of miles on yet ,but I can tell you it was worth it.
    Next week the brakes and suspension should be going on next.

    Honestly it's night and day. I couldn't be more pleased. What's nice is the speed limiter has been removed too. I am blown away how fast this truck is now.

    I was going to go with Kings but was worried about the salty harsh conditions I drive in. Hopefully these hold up.

    Your going to love the ADS

    Did you go with 600lb or 700lb spring?

    Word of advise, the spanner wrench is useless for adjusting the collar. If your adjusting on the truck, use a 5/16" punch. I jacked up my collar on the driver side trying to adjust with the spanner they have.

    For best ride quality, IMHO stay at 3" dont go any higher. I started out at about 3.25" of lift (on accident) and that really limited my down travel off-road. In going down to about 2.5".

    I'm doing new rear deavers and I was told that I would get 1 inch more lift in the rear. I really didn't want any lift in the rear. So I guess I need to see and decide how much front lift I will add after the suspension is in. I am looking for close to level. I do tow and don't want it to look saggy in back with a load.

    I also don't know what size tires yet. I'm waiting to see what the truck looks like with the ads suspension. I am doing 20" methods roost wheels in black with an 18 offset. Let me know if you have any input on tire sizes

    I went with the Icon expansion pack leaving the overload off. It net me about 1/2" driver side and 3/4" pass side.

    Like you, I wanted NO lift in the back but wanted a much better, more progressive ride - which is what the expansion pack gave me.


    I am very biased regarding wheels. I am a huge fan of tire over wheel....I run Rock Warrior on 285/75/17 Cooper AT3.

    Unless your running the new Icon wheels, be prepared to trim and possibly do the CMC to cycle 35s without issues. From what I recall the new Icons cycle without the CMC just very minimal liner trimming.

    Forgot to mention, have the shop cycle your rear suspension. I'm curious if you'll run into an issue on the collapsed lengths.

    I'm assuming you went Deaver mini pack and not a completely new pack?

    I'm pretty sure it's a completely new pack I haven't unboxed it yet.
