Thanks

didnt stiffen the ride too much.... my plow drops my truck 3/4" when it is raised. so the springs are great! i have had them on for over a year, and it just rides like a truck should.

Hey just curious, is there any difference between the diesel coils on a 2500 vs. 3500, or are they the same?

Just got done putting my 3500 diesel coils on off a 98 3500, i love the way it sits! I have add a leafs on the rear and the rear is 1 inch higher than the front, i like the back a little higher than the front so i'll have to figure out how to get a couple more inches in the back

I am contemplating doing this mod, and was wondering if there are any other mods that are necessary. Such as longer brake lines, new shocks, steering components, etc.

Or is this pretty much a drop in?

Thanks.
