I did the 3 leaf progressive AAL. If I could do things over, I'd almost rather have the bumpers done and then do the suspension to make sure I'd be sitting level and riding nice. My coilovers are doing OK with the new bumper, but they're cranked kinda high. Not excessive, but the truck is still not QUITE level (though it's pretty damn close).
Heavier coils up front and a leaf pack built with the consideration of rear bumper/tire carrier/bed rack/tent would be ideal.
Still, I ain't complaining. I'm loving and using this truck more now than ever.

Awesome info. I don't care for a level truck unloaded. Guess 700lbs springs up front is needed and what I plan to go with. The rear I'm still unsure. It's in 1 inch block and was thinking of the progressive aal to replace it. I don't carry to much weight in the rear even tho I do have duel swing out bumper and a topper. Maybe my stock springs are just in better shape since it was just a mall crawler before I got it. The bed was probably never used.
It just seems too much of a gamble to build a custom rear for a certain Weight that might change for me depending on the trip and gear. I honestly like the factory spring rate and travel just need them to be taller lol

Bumper looks awesome on the EscapeDivision! Very tidy and the 7" round lights suite it well.
There may or may not be a rear shackle flip coming to the market very soon for our rigs
Expect a small amount of lift using the stock shackle and more lift as needed if you go with a longer shackle. Should help with suspension droop as well.... It will be a great option for the rear of our trucks considering there is almost nothing for the rear suspension. Why Can't OME, All-Pro, or anyone make a "expo" style leaf pack for us!?!? Once this shackle flip comes out, I'll be measuring up for a set of custom rear leafs.
