fried every thing still not fixed have HD electric on it. nothing a few thousand cant fix. dad is there with the guy and he's putting on all the rubber gloves and stuff on saying I don't like these the current can jump a foot. I've told dad to not mess with that crap a few times now he might finally get it.

Well from the solid majority it's worth moving to mid perch to achieve my goal. While cash is as tight as a ticks ass in my world right now,worse case scenario I'm paying for 2 alignments and a few hours of my time. Which is my own. Next weeks project. Thanks y'all. Will report my feelings on the change here.

Just got mine moved to middle yesterday and wow, what a difference. :005: doesn't ride stiff to me or my wife and really tightens things up, looks great.

I have figured out it's the back springs that are now softer than the front so it feels like the back end is loose. I need the extra spring any how.

Hey Wilson. Are you still running stock springs in back? I didnt see aftermarket springs in your modification list. If you haven't done it yet - it would make a huge difference to go with Nationals - corrects all the hop and won't be so squirrelly anymore. Might as well do a package deal and get the RPG Stage 3 to protect your frame since your truck loves to jump.

I moved mine to middle perch about 500 miles after I bought it. It feels more like it was designed to be this way. Absolutely no negative that I can think of, and as most had mentioned, does not nose over when braking, but I think it rides the same, or maybe better in my opinion.

Just got mine done 2 days ago, shoulda done the day I took delivery! But then again I had no intention of doing any mods and here I am 3 months later I've done moto metal wheels 35x20 tires color matched linex and wheel wells stubby, window tinting, add bumper, blue cranium dif cover, PDP mud flaps, 3M clear bra sides mirrors and lights. Next week AFE cai, magna flow catback exhaust, headlights, and rigid duallys, yikes it's nice to have a wifey that encourages me to trick out my truck being retired and all I have plenty of time to explore!!! Go for it.:waytogo:
