There's quite a bit we can do to make it leave even better. This was only the 2nd and 3rd passes with new trans and converter and tbrake and 2step. And only my 3rd pass ever in the truck. We basically went out last night to prove a point after a week long debate on the facebook page that you don't need coil overs on the front at our power levels.

glad I'm not a facebooker. not necessary, but a little weight savings and ride height adjustability is always nice. has anyone found a light rate spring that works on the full size yet? The truck seems to transfer just fine. that's something I could never get my extended cab full size to do.

Don't get me wrong, if we could afford them, we'd have them. Just not necessary and money can be spent elsewhere or saved. You can use any spring you want. May just not be a bolt in deal

I'm going to check the spring rates on these springs and go from there.. Getting springs is no problem..
