This is where it always gets interesting. Lemme preface this with the fact that I purchased this vehicle with a Ready loft leveling kit up front and nothing in the rear, just a factory block. But the rear end currently has factory block plus the m27s, so +1.5 from factory in the rear to make it...

Alignment on the leafs looks good, both the stack itself and how they sit on the axle. Do i need to pull them off to get inside the bushings? Because i have put silicone grease spray all over them in the past

Would you recommend the 2.5-3.5 raise with the fox 2.5s?

Hi everyone, Looking for some guidance on what is a viable and quality upgrade from the multimatic DSSVs i currently have. I know people mention peak suspension a lot but what is there beyond that for some options? I already replace the leaf springs with M27 Deavers. They squeak like crazy...

Update: Replaced the peak blocks with the factory 2 inch blocks, fixed the issue. It even fixed some of the creaking coming from the deaver leafs. Now they live up to the description of being a smooth and quiet ride.

I can come up with a solid way to mount it without spending money on a clamp or something

Thats the plan. Im gonna get it off the ground today and pry around a bit see if anything is moving. Then pull blocks off and see what happens, then go from there

What I am likely going to do is either take the deaver leafs off and put the stock leafs on, or take the peak blocks off and put the stock ones on.

Thinking about this here, the thump only occurs when going over speed bumps and things like that, not when rolling over it, but when the tire makes contact with the road again. If that makes any sense. It occurs at a very specific point of going over a speed bumps lol and its a pain in the ass...

There was no mention of needing one so I didn’t even think of that, what i might do as a temporary solution is put the stock blocks on and take the peaks off. From what I have seen though, theres no mention of pinion shims on any lift from peak suspension. Is there a way to replicate anything...

These are what I have, I also want to add that they certainly are NOT quiet. These things creak more than any leaf spring set I have used

When I had my deavers delivered I did notice that, it only provided 1.5 inches difference with these deavers according to peak. But the ride quality is awesome, but they are obnoxious.

Interesting, I wonder if any of this is worth the stress then. I know some people have said that a thump after installing blocks has always been a thing, but my main worry now is the shocks topping out.

Ill look into what they can provide What do you think of the pictures i have attached? Should the position of the U bolts be a worry?

I don’t tow anything or plan on it, the squatting was from the front end having a ready lift spacer and the rear having nothing. The previous owner wasn’t the smartest and I have been chasing a solution for a while now.
