About to pull the trigger on this. From scaling it, with my front weight, I should be right at around #700 spring, linear. Seems awe-full light when using my other cars coil-overs in comparison to this heavy truck. I may just order a few spring pairs and see which one I like best. Anymore driving comparisons/reviews, maybe from someone with a SWB and lighter than an #800 spring?

Really good info so what would be the difference between these and qa1 double adjustable coilovers looking to upgrads to coilovers but looking at my options first

I have not had a chance to try to mount my coiloversvyet, but just side by side comparison between the two, these RideTech/fox pieces are waaaay nicer than my qa1's. Especially the delrin pivot ball stud upper compared the qa1's garbage looking rubber bushings on a stud with a nut.

Well, got my coilovers....
Unfortunately for me, when bolted up in my current mounts with this spring length, the lower spring perch rubs the outer CV Boot.
Kind of expected it though.
Looks like I'll have to look into custom mounts pushed further back... and probably just raise my UCA mounts at the same time.

For anyone wondering about alignment I just did mine (replaced outer tie-rods at the same time)
Still had room for caster adjustments but we didn't want to mess with it all night, and according to him it wouldn't have made much difference anyway.
Any alignment pros want to chime in on these specs?

I finally got the truck back, and lifted it up some. I am at 4.5" or so now, still a tad bit of rubbing on the driver side, but I think it is the plastic liner. I need to play with the settings because it seems really soft, I bottomed out today while test driving it.
