Id be intrested in the ride after the install, I got rid of my 07 and got an 09 after I did the 2" level and put new wheels and tires on. The 07 rode like a stage coach with wooden wheels. Couldnt take it anymore

Sure did! I have certain place I like to take my pictures so that any changes can be seen better. I know **** but that is just me, anyway the place is at home and by the time I get home it's dark. By the way the truck looks awesome.

The tires were great! but the 305/55/20 was too small of a sidewall and a bit wide. Driveability sucked and I regretted the level kit and wheel/tire choice so much i traded it on an 09. I love the 09 though!!

I can't give much of a review on the ride, yet. I drove straight from the alignment place about a mile down the road to where I just had my trailer serviced. I hooked up to that and had it behind me all the way home. So I only drove maybe 1 mile with it unloaded. For that 1 mile, it felt fine. Maybe a little bit more firm than stock. But I thought stock felt kinda soft anyway, so if it really is a little firmer, I'll probably like it.

I need to check on level ground, but I think my trailer is making the rear squat just a *bit* below level. If so, then I'll start shopping around for some airbags. In the picture above, my trailer is empty...
