Not sure if mentioned:

The bottom perch actually lets the truck sit nose down and ass up... When you load the bed, the soft suspension sits and the truck levels out...

Now if you have mid or top perch and you load the bed, your truck with sit nose high or higher....

I am at the top perch. Definitely better than stock.

I had the bottom perch with some +1 Deavers on my first one. The lowered ride height in the rear and the bottom perch looked and rode awesome on the street. Not enough compression travel for the dirt though. I ended going mid perch and +2 to fix that. This truck is on the top perch with +1 Nationals. Has a slightly stiffer ride in the front on the street but soaks up everything offroad. It comes down to your preference and what you will be using the truck for but I recommend mid perch and some Nationals for the best all around ride :waytogo:

Bottom perch = nose down = more streamline = better gas mileage, but then again we didn't buy these trucks for the mileage! Go for it!

Bottom perch is better if you like to comply with all government regulations - like the DOT's for bumper and headlight beam height. They do know what's best for ya, right?

Did you come by Cobb recently? I saw a Blue Flame on top perch the other day. Gave a thumbs up but got a "i'll kill you" look on the guy's face.
