Glad to hear that your happy @
mudblood! I like that you went out on a limb and tried what you wanted. About your slight difference in rear and front height...once your springs settle some (probably about 1/2"), you'll be at about 1" higher in the rear. You could do a 1" drop shackle and be dead level.
I actually got my Gieser Bros progressive springs on today. I went with putting them at bottom perch (so with these springs its at about mid-perch height). For me, I'm not looking for any more lift than stock mid perch...I am just looking for best ride out of these springs. I went from stock springs on mid-perch to this. After installing these springs on bottom perch, I am sitting right now about 1/2" higher than I was at stock mid perch. After settling, I expect it pretty much exactly the same as before. I don't see any difference in height...the ride is the difference!
My impressions after one day of just street driving...AHHHHHHHH, THE RELIEF!!!
The pressure/stiffness has been released!!! The biggest thing that got to me about mid perch on stock was the "pogo"/stiff/pressure feel that it gave the ride on the street. I was relieved when I first drove it today that the front suspension was relieved! Let me just say, its still a truck, didn't feel like floating on a cloud...but anyone that knows the stiff feeling that the truck has on stock mid perch knows whats Im talking about. I would agree with others who have said that the ride of these on bottom perch is somewhere between stock bottom and mid...thats a good thing to me.
I will update after driving around a few more days and getting it off road some
