I have read that there are 3 different Goldline springs available (Gen 1, Gen 2 and Gen 3), what are the differences between each? Are all three types still available? Pro's or Con's. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I also heard about a rear leveling spring but don't know much about it either.

 

I don't think anyone really knows. Goldline went out of business, so there's no way to find out for sure.

The rear leveling springs are exactly that.

 

when I bought mine it was explained to me that gen 1 was replaced with gen 2 and gen 3 was the leveling springs (or something like that)

 

I think mine are Gen 1 but I really like them, big improvement over stock.

 

Yeah, I think each Gen replaced the previous one. I supposedely have Gen. 3, part #1262, and they lower the front and back.

 

they would have had to been used to be Gen 1s
most likely Gen 3s

 

1st gen


2nd gen


Levelers


Never heard anything about 3rd gen GLs.

The 2nd gen and levelers are still available. Truckshop has them both, as well as the Boutique. 1st gen are not available unless you find them used.

1st gen pros.......most lowered, best looking
1st gen cons.......most prone to rubbing, roughest ride

2nd gen pros......still availalble, looks great
2nd gen cons......??
Ride is best left to be judged by owner/driver

Levelers pros.....level stance (no rake)
Levelers cons.....most problems reported w/ noise, definately have to re-aim headlights

Too much info??

 

WOW, Thanks, jx3, Exactly the info looking for...could not have been any better. This site rocks!!! Pics too! We all love pictures!

 

I stand corrected, I guess my springs are the Gen 2. in any case I love them. Curly

 

Doesn't look like any of the above IMO. Higher than 1, not raked like 2.
