The ride is actually very good. I went from bottom perch with stock springs to mid with the progressive springs so I am not sure what he ride is like with mid and stock springs. The ride is stiffer than stock but with very little stiffness or harshness. Mid perch with progressive springs will lift your truck 3.5 to 4 inches so you can only use the on the 10 and 11 raptors. On bottom perch you would get 2 to 2.5 inches of lift. I will post some pics.

So 2"-2.5" lift should be safe on a 2013? I think that is about the height the Fox and King, 3.0's raise the front of the truck?

Ok, ok...looks good. I see i could gain about an inch or so. I'm on mid now with BFG 37s.

And you are happy with the ride on/off road? Is the rebound ok? Doesn't bounce a lot, soaks up the bumps?

Man, that's hard to tell. Not sure if anyone knows the safe limit, except mid perch hasn't done any harm, yet.

But i believe there was a member who had a '12, with 3.0s and had issue with his IWEs...

The ride is good ,not as soft as the stock springs. The shocks do take a bit more of a hard hit to get them to react,so the main difference is over the smaller bump. They do not pogo like the stock shocks.

Like the stock springs? Because you are using the stock shocks with these springs, right?

SO these springs with the stock shocks do not pogo like the stock springs do?

Will using these while on mid perch be harmful in the same way a leveling kit is because of the out of tolerance angles on cv joints etc?? 2013 and above models specifically.
