Fridge and no rear seats?

Correct. No rear (3rd row) seats. Here is a better side shot.

So this is probably exactly what I'd look like with 863's and a bumper?

I have the 30mm spacers on my stock springs now, anyone interested?

hmmmmm.... not being a expert on springs ( and being on my phone) I would say that's about the height of 863's with a bumper. I'm sure somebody with that spring/bumper setup can comment. I have 3" of lift in the rear. I want to say the 866's netted me 1.75" of lift. Add the 30MM's and I have a even 3".

Perfect :)
 
Where did you get your spacers?

Kind of a mouse trap but kicking around the idea of 1" spacer, 866s and airbags...

This way I get a 3" lift without the stiffness and when loaded I could pump the airbags..


Why? Why not run a 860 spring that will give about the same lift and same ride. Once you compress the progressive part out of the 866 with a spacer it would be the same as a heavy load spring with about a 2" spacer? We have all the lift height data at the shop, so we can pretty much tell you what to expect.

If you want to get the correct "feel/ride" in the truck, you might need to look into different shocks more than just springs.
 
So I rolled over to see Christo this morning. We spent some time discussing the options and what I am looking for.

I am going with a Slee Spring and the older version of the OME Nitro Charger springs.

The plan is that this will give me the 2.5 inch lift with a smooth ride when in town.

I hope this stuff comes in this week or next week, cause I would like to getter done asap.

Christo, thanks for the time today.
 
Chris...it was nice meeting you yesterday at Christo's shop. I have the Slee coils also and don't think you will be disappointed with the ride.
