no use for them with the flip kit, pretty much track only with light street use. Waiting on rear shocks to test ride

Ride doesn't change when the overloads removed. Normally when your at 6"+ with a flipkit and notch you will never engage the overload so no point in keeping it. The overload also comes into contact with the cal tracs on more drop. Lastly the overload only changes ride height when the leafs are above the axle.

I believe it's about 25lbs worth of unsprung weight you remove which is a plus too.
