I've had them on my truck about two weeks, I've hued my 2357 lbs racecar around plus loads of wood and I've yet to complain. the only thing is, If you do the rears, you will notice how bad the fronts are. my truck loaded with all racing gear squats to just about level. way better then before. no more being flashed on the way home Saturday nights by the drunks. when loaded plus trailer weight I'm pulling 3800 lbs
