Observer
My truck needs some updating in the suspension department as I apparently have packed the pounds on the truck with the rear being the worst off.

Plan for the rear:
-Icon 2.5 Remote Reservoir Shocks
-Icon Rear Hydraulic Air Bumpstop System

The debate is between a set of custom Deaver Leaf Springs or the All-Pro Expedition Leaf Springs. The last time I weighed the truck I was 1,100 over GVWR but that has been minimized with the change from a truck only setup to having the trailer.

Plan for the front:
-Replace the bushings in the Total Chaos Upper Control Arms
-Icon Extended Travel Remote 2.5 Reservoir Front Coil-over Shock Kit with 700 lbs springs
-Icon 2.5 Remote Reservoir Shocks (Secondary Front Shocks)
-Total Chaos Dual Shock Hoops - Stock Length Control Arms
-Total Chaos Stock Uni ball Lower Control Arms with Dual Shock Capability

The front is holding up well and with the price of parts will be converted to a dual setup after the main components are running solid if needed at all. I need to get a move on the back fairly quickly and would appreciate everyone opinions as to weather this setup should work out for me. Honestly my big concern is in the leafs and would love direction in that area.

PS: I should have some new picks with the truck and trailer as well as the mods that I have done recently...mostly electrical but some new fun toys for sure.
