Inspections..! I live in Kansas we don't have that around here. Lol. Damn that press woulda been handy for my test-tune weekend. I had those in/out 3 times it's still RAKED at this point I'm ready to spend any amount to get this truck level again...! Manual spring compressors are dangerous.

I tried alot of options last weekend, I had the pro-comps in the lifted position, and then the spacer(just to try it) my A-arm was was hitting my coil spring. Clearly over-lifted. FYI

Saw a guy at the local machine shop yesterday with pretty much the same setup as my truck:
06 FX4, with pro-comp leveling shocks.(in the leveled position)
So i started asking him if he felt a stiff ride and some harshness, He said he originally did, but then he flipped the collar back to the stock position and it rides like a dream. He added a rough country 2" spacer after he flipped the collar back.
So i busted out the tape measure to check his agains mine. Low and behold his is only 3/8ths of an inch lower than mine.
I think im going to swap the collar and get a spacer to resolve my ride stiffness issue.
Ill update when i get everything installed.
