Do it man! I did mine and wished i had done it the day I got it. It reduced brake dive, and with the swaybar on, it rolls a bit less in corners. It also feels like the shocks soak up the bumps a bit better too. It's an all around improvement. It's only 1.5" or so of lift, but it's very noticeable in the stance of the truck.

Wilson, as further reinforcement, I can guarantee nobody will come in here and tell you not to do it. I don't think I've even see anyone on the forum who went up to mid and then returned it to stock. I've seen people who went top go back to mid, but nobody goes back to stock.

Put mine on the second perch almost two years ago and never looked back. Do it. If you don't like it you can always put it back to stock. Just remember you'll need an alignment after the move.

Totally agree... I am at top now.. Before I had rpg stage 3, uca, and tierods installed the truck felt great on top perch. Now with the RPG goodness installed the front feels stiff, and harsh compared to the back. I am considering going back to mid perch..

I just did mine today, honestly not a huge difference in ride. Defiantly looks better, it levels it of perfectly. I've had it on the highway, local streets and briefly of a rocky trail with not obvious change in ride. Maybe slightly stiffer at worst.

Do you have to re-aim the forward lighting?

I'm having watertownfordchrysler do the work putting on the exhaust every thing is paid for already and I decided not to put the clear spray bra stuff on the side of truck so should cover cost of putting it to mid perch or close to it with every thing needed
