I'm back to middle perch. I.must say... the 1/2 " of extra wheel track in the front looks great and I am loving the ride compared to top perch. I do miss the high fender line and the nose high look tho

I went from top to middle last week too, and am not missing it at all. Kept the stance about the same since I added the National Standard springs, just lower all around now.
If you're in it for looks, Top Perch is the way to go. If you like a ride that isn't harsh and don't want the front end to feel choppy around bumpy corners, middle is where you want to be. I'm happier with the way my truck is driving now than I have ever been. The combo of rear springs and middle perch was night and day from top perch/factory springs.
And, keeping it stock isn't bad at all of you feel the need to crush pizza boxes.

middle position Fox shocks
Hey guys this may have already been mentioned but if you go from the bottom notch to the middle notch do you still need a alignment?

Holy schnikes!! That lower shock nut is torqued to 404 lb-ft. For those that did it themselves, how (aside from buying a long 3/4" drive torque wrench)?

Yeah that is what I was saying when Corey handed me a regular torque wrench... Then he handed me one of the longest torque wrench I have ever seen... Swear it was at least 4 feet long...
