Update: I got them installed. It was a piece of cake once I knew how to lengthen it. Thanks again ExxWhy. Couple pics of the install below. I even threw in one showing the jack stands.

The truck definitely is flatter around curves and corners, rides pretty much stock. It did lift the rear a little, I would guess around an inch. Can't wait to tow with it this weekend.

Glad it worked out easily for you. I never towed without it installed on mine, so no idea on the improvement you can expect. Skipped to the head of the class so to speak from reading on here and went for the RAS, Hellwig, and Rancho 9000 shocks before I started. I will say mine seems rock solid with the trailer behind. (about 29' and 7000 lbs)

Sorry to revive an older thread, but......how much is a decent deal on the RAS? I have been looking around a little, and the only dealer near here wants $350. Is there a web site or any FTE member who sells them? Thanks in advance!

Yeah, that's about what you are going to pay for them if you want a new setup. I got mine direct from RAS (called them).
