I have these springs. My truck is not on mid perch, but looks like it is, because the springs are just a bit taller. In fact, I took it from mid perch back down to bottom perch, because of the attitude that I wanted in my truck.
I would highly recommend them. I have progressive springs front and rear, and it looks, rides and performs awesome.

Thanks for the info. I'm currently on Mid Perch and I like the ride. I would like to be at top perch height without sacrificing ride quality or risking damage.

So has anyone tried to machine a new groove in the shock body between bottom and mid perch groove? seems like a very simple idea and with Geiser Bros springs seems like you would get the best of all worlds.

Did it. It really didn't do much. I thought it would make a difference in the ride but no. Returned to bottom perch.

So if you are already on mid perch, does adding these springs make the ride quality worse if you stay at mid perch? Or is it about the same as without the springs?

Does being on Mid Perch cause any issues, or are all of you dropping back down because of the feel/ride?
