Just got an alignment done today. Toe and Camber were off, but not by much.

I'm a little late with a reply here, but here goes.

I installed front an rear on my truck just before Thanksgiving with the levelling setting in front. My wife, cat and I drove from Maryland to Treasure Island, Florida the day after Thanksgiving and the ride difference was amazing. My wife never likes me fooling with my truck and she asked me why I hadn't changed them forever ago. We also drove back to Maryland and I drive it everyday. The ride is as good as when I put them on. The ride is definetly firmer with no smoosh and goosh after you go across a bump. it just sucks up the bump. Body roll is almost gone and when I step on the gas there is no nose rise. One thing I have noticed that is a negative is when I drive across speed humps the front tires seem to fall like their dropping off a cliff with a loud thud when the tires reach ground after I cross the hump. The hump is soaked up with ease, but I think the shocks may be topping out after I cross the hump or the springs are just shooting the tires down faster than before, because of the increased compression. Either way I couldn't be happier that I put them on.

I also have a few tips for install if anyone is interested.

Gary

Thanks for the reply Rusty. Where did you buy them? I have a set of 4 on order from shockwarehouse since September thats apparently on backorder. I keep getting strung along when the new "arrival" date comes and goes.

I got them from topguncustomz.com they were $398 shipped, but I'm not sure if they are still doing the free shipping. Here's a link http://www.topguncustomz.com/Store/G...view=241174944 They were cool when I called. I bet if you call and tell them you friend didn't pay shipping they will ship them for free. You can also check ebay. That is how I found topguncustomz. If you plan on putting them on yourself let me know. I have a few tips that might save you some trouble.

Good luck
