How the truck sits, and attitude? It might be a couple of days! But I will try and get to it.

The front is on bottom perch. I don't know how much the WSI springs gave me, but I think that they are about an inch over stock. I can raise it up another inch and a half, or so, by using the adjustable shackles.
The tires are 25-12.50-20 Toyo AT 2's Some people say that you should not run 20 inch wheels on an off road truck, but I think that their position is more of a profiling position for the type of driving most people do. I am more about unsprung weight, braking and acceleration. I drive fast off road, and may catch air from time to time, and this tire and wheel combination performs like a champ. Incidentally, The sidewal is much higher, and the tire is much larger than I had on my superduty, and it saw a bit of off road, too, and was MUCH heavier.

Oh wow, I thought those were 18s. They don't look like 20s. I am thinking of running 315/70/18 on mine with black on gun metal on black method NVs.

So would you say those Geiser Bros coils you have ride softer and MORE PLUSH that the factory coils? Dhow much lift would you say they gave after they settled?

They are the same height as mid perch, on the bottom perch. I like the ride, though it was not bad before. It makes a huge difference over wash board roads, etc. I am sure that if I did everything, moved the front springs to top perch, and raised my adjustable shackles, I would get another 3 inches of clearance. I just don't like lifted trucks, and never have.

I have always hated lifted trucks also. I just think the raptor needs to be lowered in the back 1" and what would be equivalent to mid perch height on the front for a dead level stance.

I am considering Geiser springs and deaver +1 rear springs. I wish someone had this setup for me to reference on 37x12.5 bfg all terrains
