Hi, sorry about missing your question, I just now saw your post. I have not done anything to the springs, my springs and overall suspension is very smooth with the tires around 25psi and was just looking for more lift as I feel the truck looks on the lower side.

What brand/ type spring compressors are you using?

Yea, looks really good! It appears that they used the same or a similar spring spacer and upper ball joint shim: And here is the body lift spacer. Some say that as you go higher, the spacer should be stiffer than the standard ones, otherwise it changes the dynamics of the chassis vs frame...

Yes, like this one it's setup on 42s: This particular one, it is also an in-between, ECV, without the geared fan.

Congratulations on the new truck! That's what I have also (I presume it's the M1165A1) . I have a lot of other things to do, and will follow your progress if you don't mind. Check out these guys at RubberDuck, in addition to the spring spacers they also added an upper ball joint shim to...

You are right, that would be the path of least resistance and can always change it later if needed. One thing I have to figure out is a spacer that would lift & secure the nose (to match the hood body lift), which on my truck is separated from the hood and it is currently secured to the winch...

You are bringing up an important point about the existing height...my REV (some call it REV B) truck is at about 26" to 26.50" from center wheel to the fender (which would be higher than coolboat's 25" or so, IIRC), same height front and rear and I am trying to figure out if my springs are...

From what I understand the spacers make the ride stiffer. Without doing the math and just reading Gilder's calculations of the spring rates, travel length, etc. it sounded like he had it dialed in to get the higher ride from the springs. I am not looking for a softer ride as mine are pretty...

I can totally see that, even the arms and the whole geometry will be out of whack.

Thank you for bringing me back to reality...yes the 2" spring + 2" body lift seems the way to go, I just didn't want to do spacers over springs and just use the right springs. What is the approximate curb weight of your truck? (not sure what exact model you have)

I have been reading all your posts about the Armada springs (in another thread also) for a while and maybe you could provide some guidance... my truck is stock and there is about 26" to 26.5" from the center wheel to the fenders, same distance in the front and back, on a 12.1k chassis, with a...
