Default What type of suspension setup are you running?

As there are a multitude of different setups (dislocation cones, retainers, lifts, shock mounts, etc.) lets start a thread detailing what the members of LRO actually use.

So post up what's on your truck.

Remember we need info like lift amount, spring rates if known, brands & makes, other suspension changes (trailing arms, radius arms etc.). Anything relevant, oh and of course whether you like it and if it is fit for purpose.

Any RRC guys also feel free to post as your suspension is essentially the same any how.

Here's my setup along with QT Castor Corrected 3 degrees Radius Arms, Offset Rear Trailing Arms, Mach 5 Rims, Simex JT 34x10.5x16.

Springs are 2.5" (20% uprated front and 30% in rear).

Well here is my current setup.
+2" RTE HD springs.
300-340 lb/in progressive Rear springs
225 lb/in linear Front springs
+2" Pro Comp Shocks (shhh don't tell anybody)
Extended Poly Bump stops 3.5" I think
Extended brake lines.
Britpart front and rear dislocation cones
Homemade Sway bar quick disconnects.
Homemade Sway bar mount extensions (to keep the Front props shaft from hitting)

So far I'm very happy with the setup although right now it's just temporary. Once I'm done with Grad School and actually making money again. I plan on adding the following items.

RTE Rear links
RTE Corrected Radius Arms
DC Front Drive shaft
RTE top and bottom shock mounts
Real shocks (yet to be determined)
1" Spacers or just swap out for 3" springs. (this is very low priority and probably will happen after rock sliders, rear bumper, lockers and 4:11 gears)
