Hi All,
Didn't want to necro an old thread, so starting a new one...I could have sworn I saw someone here that did the same as I'm doing but after a search I couldn't find the thread again.
About 4k miles ago I installed the Dobinsons 822 front and 823v rear. I don't carry too much static load, but I'm still adding to the truck and plan to have an extended tank when its released. Right now my static load is probably somewhere in the range of 400lbs. I ended up with more lift and rake than I expected (even after settling) so I'm planning on getting the wescott designs front preload collar/spacer for the Trailhunter. I currently have 2" of positive rake, so the 1.5" from the wescott kit should get me pretty close to level. I also tow my trailer but its really not very heavy and doesn't cause much if any spring compression with the current static load; I expect this could change as my static load increases.
Has anyone else done something similar, any experience with the wescott preload collars and dobinsons springs?
Additionally, I haven't added extended sway bar links but I think its going to be needed and plan to pick those up soon.
After all of this is done, I plan to install 295/70r18s (34s) on my stock TH wheels.
