Because of the majority of driving conditions where I live (dirt wasboard roads) I'm opting to keep mine OE. One of the reasons I bought this truck was to take some of the bite out of the ride in cab. If not for that,I'd be on mid perch. I hate raked street vehicles. Front sitting lower then the rear. But I live with it for the softer suspension.

You might try mid perch, it does not stiffen up the front as bad as top perch. It does take the rake/level the truck, takes the nose diving during braking, and sloppiness out front end.

I was thinking it would make the ride ruff also but it dose not if any thing it is better I just hope they forgot to hook up the sway bar because it seems to be all over the place now. maybe just because it steers so much better at slow speeds and off road it is awesome. jumping it is even better for a couple hundred it is worth the try I am liking it

The all over the place can be two things...
When they did the alignment, where you sitting in the truck.. One another member mentioned it, and I tried it.. It does make a difference with the road crown, it tracks a lot straighter..

The other thing is there is a lot of slop in the factory tierods.. After TRR and installing RPG tierods, I was amazed how sloppy the front end was. Before you would turn the wheel, about 1 second later the truck would turn. Now it is instant, and no slop!

ya it didn't seem to do that before the second than turn thing. I was thinking that was from the sway bar or was hoping it was. I've been trying to get the corn in it rained so will have time to take a closer look.
