I think the heavy feel of the wheel is just the little change in the alignment.

As for the height difference, is there any spacer or anything like that above the springs that could have been left out on installation of the springs? I was not there when the shop took out the old springs and we both run these springs. I did check to make sure that the rubber springs isolator was reinstalled and it is there. I have a feeling that I just got a set of short springs. Being they are a 1 inch increase over stock, now I am worried that if I go mid perch then I will be at +2.5. I am worried I will have CV issues at that point.

All I can tell you is I run on mid perch. Another member on here has been running mid Perch for well over a year with over 17,000 miles. He has a 13 and mine is a 14. Neither of us have experienced any issues. He admits not running 4x4 much but neither of us have any bad experiences

Just got back from Raptoberfest with mine. Did a little over 160 miles there with these springs. The first lap was really wet so I stayed in 4 wheel drive the entire time. Absolutely no problems with these on mid perch and 4 wheel drive going hitting jumps so full travel was used all the way to full droop. I definitely got more speed coming into and out of whoops with these springs installed. Here is the vid-link to my last run on Sunday. Lots of large ruts in the corners because of the muddy first day.

Great footage! So you are saying you are a fan with these springs on and their performance off-road? Had you taken your tuck off-road with the stock springs? SO comparing them?

Just an update. Been running the progressive springs at mid pearch on a 14 for over 3500 miles now. Running great and nothing leaking or out of shape to the human eye. Still really enjoy the soft feel on road and really love the feel off road. I have lost a total of about 1/8th inch lift up front from install.

Are you running Deaver springs in the back to complement the geisers in the front?
