Cause you're that special, why do you call them prototypes then? That means they practiced on your truck to know what to do to make them for other people. . .

So your truck is 4" lower than mine. How much of that lower height is from the prototype springs? And did you shorten the bump stops, or just go with less suspension travel?

Bump stops chopped 3/4". More responsive handling with less body roll.

Just curious if your shocks bottom out before the bump stops now? I suspect not, but hopefully you checked.

The truck is looking nice. Good job.

Shocks maintain adequate travel.
