For what it's worth... I just did a 91 mile desert loop today and after it all I will say my truck should be on bottom perch with its current setup. I've heard the '14 can be a little stiffer on mid and top perch with stock springs. It was definitely too stiff today with the Geiser springs on mid perch. I will wait to change it until after I get my bumper/winch setup done and mounted as the extra weight could change things. It rode well through the smoother sections but on a couple high speed dips it was far too stiff and didn't use full travel. Also seemed to rebound a bit too fast. Again or depends on the setup and I will wait to change mine until my front is complete but if you are stock bumpers no winch etc I would recommend bottom perch unless going for looks or are fire road only.

This has me questioning the change I was about to make.
My truck is definitely lower up front with this new springs. For reference, I was on mid perch with stock springs, and now I am on bottom with these new springs.
I really want to move back up to mid because the truck sits lower but with your review I am not so sure now...

Personally I thought I was going to hate mid-perch but with one big run out on the dunes I found my new setup to be really good.

I agree with @JnJraptor about rebound but I have no way to know if this is from the new springs or just a mid-perch characteristic as I was at bottom-perch with stock springs before. I have no way to compare the two...

After the front has settled it appears I'm riding ass high by just a small amount. Just enough to notice it by looking at it. I plan on adding some weight though (extra tire, chase rack) so that should level me out.

Good review from @Trick_Raptor. Just to add some more when I'm not fresh out of the truck. Rebound is not Crazy compared to stock was on mid, but it's definitely more. That said I decided to pull out the tape and measure to see if the springs have settled. Since install with just some street miles I have settled 3/8" (center to flare). So there could be a break in period to it, and if you have extra weight up front could be great. the type of offroad terrain you are in at any given time could make it seem better or worse as well. It will be interesting to see what happens once I have a bumper and winch along with some more miles.

Lowered mine down to bottom perch from mid. I'm happier with my ride and the truck sits level now.
