    I would not be surprised. Unless you have an inside track on some kind of super sale that is coming for holidays or some such; if anyone is looking at ANY suspension components, I'd buy now rather than later.

    If you wouldn’t mind taking before and after measurements of your finished setup. I also got the Coachbuilder +2 and am wondering what rake we’ll have with the falcons at level.
    Thanks

    Do you, by chance, have a direct profile shot of your truck after the Falcon and shackle install? I'm just trying to get a visual of the rake situation with the Falcons on level. IIRC you did the Coachbuilder +1 shackle, right?

    I am on the level setting with Coachbuilder +1s on 275/60/20 which is pretty much the same diameter wheel as the 275/70/17

    I'm wondering now if anyone's used the top setting on those Falcon's without a heavy bumper/winch... Would it somehow change the ride comfort with the extra 1/2" of lift? I'll be putting the CB +1's on, and this pic looks like full rake returned. Really don't mind cutting the rake in half... But that's a good looking truck.

    My only concern with running it on the heavy accessory setting without one would be that you might over extend something. I'm likely just being overly cautious, but if you really want an answer to how it'll behave you should call Teraflex. They can let you know if you'll have any issues.

    This makes me think. It looks like you've maintained some decent rake, and that's the look I like. I'll probably have a bit more with the +2 shackles, but I hope the eventual rack and tent install will bring it back down. Have you put any weight in the bed to see what it does with the rake? Have you hooked up to a trailer to see? Any pics of either of these situations? (Sorry, I'm a visual learner)

    Love the rain, and we certainly need it. Hope this dumps on Parley's enough that they stop worrying about it.

    They're pretty well known so I certainly can't fault ya for making the drive!

    ...Speaking of which I need to put my suspension on before it starts getting cold lol.

    Also, @HulkSmurf14 I see you lurking :anonymous:

    I have not had anything that would really cause much of a squat.
    I just have a small trailer and I have done a few full loads of mulch, compost, and topsoil.
    No noticeable squatting and only switched between 1 and 2 on the rear shocks. The change from 1 to 2 loaded was quite noticeable.

    I agree on the 1 to 2 level switch...very noticeable difference in feel...I suppose it would feel like almost adding a rear sway...or close to...I am digging the setup!

    So, they're finishing up with the truck, now.
    Unfortunately, I gained some rub on the front of the wheel wells.:( I don't want to wait a "couple hours" for them to trim it.

    @French Avocado did you have to have them trim on yours? Wondering if it's just my slightly oversize tires.

    I had slight rub on the mud flaps when turning in reverse. This is the front of the wheel well, so it's new. Really don't wanna do bumper shims. Offends my OCD.

    Have you consider/tried a heat gun and some gloved massage of the plastic? I was surprised how nice it worked on my wife's 4runner...

    I'm rocking 275/70/18s with VERY little rub in reverse at full lock...@50 Buck, pedal to the metal! That will make some heat and formed-fit liners! ;)
