I was thinking the following below and then adding firestone airbags and inflate during towing to compensate. What is your take on this on this and if you have any other recommendation that would be great.

Front: C59-314 and GS59-221
Rear: C59-505 and GS59-637
Hey man, Those parts you listed will be idea. with the air bags. If you towed the boat often, you could go with a heavier spring rate but you'd be over 2" of lift unloaded which wouldn't give you the stance you're looking for.

Wouldnt mind a 3/2" lift but how would the ride be without the load?? I tow it once every 2-3 weeks.

Just a bit firmer. It depends if you're towing the boat 2 miles, or further each time. If your truck can handle the boat just fine now, then you can go with the standard springs and add air bags later if you feel like you need them.

I’ve got an 07 v6 4wd. I’m running the 323’s in the rear with Bilstein 4600’s. In the front I have KYB strut plus and a 1/4” spacer.

Passenger rear ground to fender is 37” with about a 1/2” - 1/4” driver lean depending on how full the gas tank is.

Front ground to fender is 35” both sides.

Would mind getting your hub to fender measurements with this setup? Thanks!

Any idea if there’ll be a Black Friday sale? Itching to upgrade the suspension but probably going to wait to see if there’s a good sale in a month.

Do you offer the upper control arms in the same teal color that the springs come in?

I'm in the same boat as you. At this point, you might as well wait. BF is right around the corner.

I am sure this question must have been asked before, but I prolly dont know how to phrase the search properly lol.

The guide on the 1st page is useful in addressing wight. But I am assuming different weight distribution will affect the coils in a different way. For example I am not going to run a rare bumper in the foreseeable future but I am running a RTT, possible some sliders and some camping gear during summer time (lets say its extra 250ish lbs combined). Since that weight is distributed between front and back am I going to get consistent 2" of rear lift with C59-325 or is it 327 territory? Variable rate of 675V sounds good but I have 5100 in the rear so I probably should stick to 2".

With any weight, to keep 2" you'd be better off with the 327s. Roof rack weight is more so over the rear axle, especially a RTT.

Anyone here running C59-701V on their 4th gen?
I recently got a full dual swing out bumper on and my 677's sagged a bit. Curious what people's experiences are with the beastly 701's

Mike- To ask a question very similar to the guy a couple posts up, I've got an '07 V6 4x4 I'm planning on buying a full set of shocks and springs for. I'm looking to get a 2 inch lift in the front and 1.5 in the rear. My question is whether I should get the stock or heavy front end load spring rates. I have stock bumpers, but around 100 pounds of skids from the front to a bit past the transfer case, as well as just under 100 lbs for my rock sliders. Nothing else that adds any significant weight. I don't want to go over 2 inches in the front as I'm trying to avoid having to purchase the UCAs and the diff drop for the time being.

Also, do most people get the spacers to correct the lean, or does this vary too much from truck to truck to say for sure?

Thanks for your time, I'm super excited to get this installed on my truck!
