Man it rides allright but I seem to bottom out pretty harsh. I am hoping that replacing the rubber bump stops, may be trimming less, will take care of that. If not I may have to get another set of springs and trim a little less. I haven't had it at any real speed yet, but I could see where it has scrubbed the lower control arms some. At least I wasn't going real fast when it happened. I don't believe I've really hurt any thing yet.
Maybe the original springs are just worn out. It may not bottom out with a set of new !' shorter springs.

Truck looks nice!
