It's been a while since I've updated everyone on how my truck is handling. The front suspension is amazing. That's about all I have to say about it. The combination of the Donahoe Coilovers and Camburg Upper Control Arms are the best you can get without going long travel. It seems the faster I go over bumps and dips and any other terrain, the better the truck is handling and the smoother it feels.
It's a completely different story for the rear, though. I'm not saying that the 3-leaf pack is bad, but I'm pretty sure that the original stock leafs are just warn out. They were abused by the previous owner by hauling too much weight, and it's finally caught up to me. I'm going to be replacing the whole leaf pack soon with the 8-leaf pack from Deaver. I'd prefer the 62 inch long travel pack, but because I don't want to go through the bed with my shocks, I wouldn't have the ability to get more than 13-14" of travel anyways, which is about how much the 8-leaf pack cycles. I'll update and review on that leaf pack when it's installed. I will also be doing a shock relocation to gain about 4 inches of travel in the rear. That along with some rebuildable 2.0-2.5" reservoir shocks, and I think the back will finally keep up with the front.

Tell me if you think I should make a bumper like this, or I should just keep the stock one.
