Geiser springs and 37's on today!!

[Hpmaniac]

Did the springs and 37's today, stock bead locks powder coated black with real bead lock rings. Install was easy, about 2.5 hrs front n rear.
The ride and suspension definitely isn't as smooth as stock even driving with the stock tires but I'm hoping having the suspension reset solves this. Still rides good but it feels different now especially on the little bumps. Pretty sure the reset will fix it. Love the look. The stock wheels look bad ass black. Maxxis razr tires and I've ran these on many trucks and they are load d like the factory tires. These tires drive great and make very little noise.

37’s looks good, it just fills the well better.

Look goods, I would like to hear your thoughts after the springs settle in and the shocks are recalibration.

When I swapped to 37s, I noticed small bumps more than the stock tires. I think most 37s have a stiffer sidewall so you feel the little bumps more. I can tell you 37s soak up bigger bumps in the dirt way better than 35s did though.

Looks great. Gives a good idea what Sandblast wheels with look like. Contemplating what to do with them when it arrives as I like my Vossens, but those black beadlocks are fantastic looking. Wish they made a milder size spring, like 1" all around.

Stock wheels with 37s looks clean!!

Definitely update us after you do the reset. I’ve been researching best options to get some added height too. Was going to go leveling kit - but wanting to see more real world reviews of the geiser springs.

Those wheels look really good blacked out

I will definitely update after calibration. I drove it after spring install with the stock tires to compare ride, it rides good but is a bit stiffer and I'm better it's the shock calibration. It cost me a fortune to do the wheels.
Purchased them coated black for 1800 then when they showed I realized I had no bead rings.
Real bead rings were 600 I believe and then 50 each to powder coat.
120 for the sensors and 1800 for tires lol.
I looked at a bunch of wheels and really like this stock wheel black the most.

Surprised more people here don't run the maxxis razr! Best offroad and on road tire I've ran. They are not to loud and drive very nice. They have a great looking sidewall too. Plus they make a 37 12.5 18 in load D to match the factory load rating. They also have a 40k tread warranty.

Isn't it funny how we like black wheels now? Back in my day it was shiny wheels.

I have a neighbor (about 65) who just picked up a 2012 C6 Vette (GS) with chrome wheels. I asked him if he was swapping out the wheels for black and he just looked at me! I was never a fan of chrome, my C7 Z06 came with factory chromes and the first thing I did was swap them for factory blacks. Sold them to a guy (65-70) who just loved them!

 

[RedEyeTRX]

Looks great! Love the stance!
Recal should improve the ride a bit, the truck thinks the suspension is extended right now.

I don’t know much about suspension so excuse my ignorance…

Do the new springs reduce the rear sag when having stuff in the bed? My one complaint about my TRX is it sags in the rear just from run of the mill camping gear in the bed. I’d like to reduce that…

It will likely still sag a pretty decent amount. I don't remember the exact figures but the spring rate is heavier on the Geiser springs.

Haaa, I'm 66 and love the black wheels which is why I went with the standard TRX wheels instead of the beadlocks although I didn't think about getting the beadlocks and powder coating the beauty ring at the time. Even had to change out the wheels on my bmw to black from the chrome when I bought it. The dark gray beadlocks on my 2020 Raptor looked good though. All of us old guys aren't into chrome.

I did 37's with geisers on the stock wheel as well. After ride height calibration, it rode substantially better than previously. It's also gotten better now that the springs have settled completely. The only difference I feel with the setup and curious if anyone else has felt the same, is a lot more torque steer which before hand on the stock setup never really did.

Have you changed drive mode preferences after the spring install?

 

[Sandblaster Rex]

Beefy!

Typically I just drive it in auto if that's what you're referring to. I have a custom setup but rarely do I change the drive modes unless I'm towing
