Those pics perfectly illustrate the difference between the 3611 and 3611-Y part numbers, great pics Brulaz!
I have had some continuing interest since our last group buy earlier this summer, watch out for another group buy in the month of September!

I installed the RAS Saturday morning. I removed the lift blocks under the springs and set up the RAS with the Black disk. Stock height measured 39 ¼, with the blocks removed and the RAS set up the measurement was 39 ¾ +/-. As all of you know from the other RAS reviews the improvement is undeniable. Smoother Ride no jolting over bumps, better turning, less squat, less sway, the truck as a whole feels more controlled. I only towed my 16’ Trailer with my Polaris Ranger in it and could not have asked for better with a light load. I won’t be pulling my TT until Deer Season is over however I will update as time goes on, but I would like to thank everyone for reviewing and testing the RAS so it would be an easy choice for me.

One of the good things about the Roadmaster is that it does improve the unloaded ride a lot (as well as the loaded ride). AFAIK options like Timbren and Supersprings only help when under load.
Also RAS doesn't make the ride too harsh and is easy to install by yourself.
IMHO there are a couple of other changes that also help handling especially under load (in addition to RAS): Heavy duty shocks on all 4 corners help with rocking by increasing the damping factor, and LT metric truck tires help with "squirm" by stiffening the tires' side wall.

Installed Ground Force 2" shackle drop yesterday followed by RAS using a very tight black disc. Install went well, can't wait to tow with it. Height of the rear end was down a 1/4" from stock after everything was installed.
