Not sure if the springs I bought are sagging or were de-arched or what. I f I could get it level or close to level, that's my goal. Mcgaughys flip kit in rear with oem shackles.
265/35/22s weren't bad but the 275/45/20s are just barely tucking. Thought about airshocks but heard will rude harsh, don't want to add helpers right now and really have no need besides leveling. Thinking about shock extenders and djm lift shackles.
I have a 2" drop hanger, Flip Kit, and a 1.75 lift shackle. No issues. Truck rides decent.
For about 3500 miles I had a slight rake, Now rear sits about 1/4 to 1/2 lower.
Not horrible, but I see it.
Bed isn't the problem, pretty sure the used leafs may contribute. Sat low in back with old setup too before notch/bed swap.
Wondering if the raised gas tank braces are hitting bed supports and holding it up ever so slightly. This is more suspension related than a tweaked frame. Front to back difference is almost 2" and also raised from end with the coil spacers when I went to 20s.
QFT, had lift shackles to raise the back end up 1.5" and it was perfectly level with 3" springs in the front. Damn thing rode like a wagon with them though. I took them off and just spent the $300 or so on the McGaughy helper kit and it rides soooo much better now.
I like how my truck rides with the helper bags. With that said, I have an extra set of shackle flip hangers you could use to raise the back an inch or two from my belltech flip kit that I didn't use if you need them.
