    We're thinking about hitting Gatlinburg too. We lived in Hermitage for a couple years prior to staying in Johnson City. My wife and kids love it there and cant wait to make it permanent. We'll have to get together at some point!

    Glad you finally purchased the shocks you wanted. They should complement the truck nicely.

    Law, I have some noticeable vibration at at start and stop. Pretty annoying and truthfully was a little concerning. After talking with coach builder, he says its from the need of a carrier bearing drop. Might want to consider doing that. I think it was like $13...

    Hoping to install mine next weekend

    Right now, stock with 1" blocks.

    Holding off on those for a couple months until Tax returns. Really wanted the coilovers ASAP since I have a spacer lift and roads in Memphis are TERRIBLE. Can't have suspension snap!

    Most likely spring for BOSS and MAYBE shackles but heard blocks and shackles don't really give much difference in ride quality. Might try it anyways to see the difference firsthand

    Take a look into doing a Icon Leaf pack. Eliminates the block and makes the ride much better. Then you can decide if you wan to do a shackle with it. Part number 51200 from Icon

    I'll have to look into that. Thanks brother!!

    Helps with tow sag any? Figured leaf packs would stiffen the back up?

    Anytime man! You wont lose any towing capacity because you'll retain the overload spring. Ride becomes a little stiffer because of the type / length of shock you have in there. If you have a shock that measures for 0-1.5 of lift then it'll perform the best because now you're getting full potential out of the rebound and compression of the shock

    +1 on the leaf pack for only about 130 more than shackles. Do it the right way, do it once.

    @Hattori's convinced me to go that way as well. May or may not add CB +1's or the TC 3/4" shackle with the leaf pack too, just need to think about it.

    I'm doing a King F/R setup with Camburg arms and The Icon pack this coming Tuesday at work for a customer. Ill get some detailed pics of the ride height when its done. Its a bit more in suspension but the heights will be comparable to what you're doing. If you wan to reference it in the meantime look up these part numbers: King 25001-144, 25001-143A, Camburg 310038, and the Icon system. The truck is going to be running Method 308's sized 20x9 +18 with Pro Comp MT2 295-60-20. It'll be trimmed but absolutely 100% when its done.

    Ill post it on here for you Law if you want bud
