Oddly enough I towed more with the original springs. These days it's a family hauler although I'm towing a buddies race car in two weeks, roughly 1000 mile round trip. I'm anxious to see how it tows now compared to stock.
Any other questions?

I'm running stock height shocks front/rear with modified x codes and modified b codes, no signs of over extension.

Ok I changed my mind after doing some measurements and pulling actual specs I'm going with bilsteins. The 33-187297 looks to be a better fit. The compressed length is less likely to bottom out when I decide I need to fly and the extension will be close to the other mfgs. How I have it in my head it will put the piston close to the center of the tube equal oil on each side I'm hoping will equal a nice ride for what my main use will be.

It changes the shock settings so you don't have to crawl under the truck and do them all manually.

Great for if you're old. Otherwise it takes all of 30 seconds to adjust them by hand.

Just to finalize this I did go bilstein. I received them super fast installed them and love the looks, I have only driven 5 miles but I think I will like them. Now get b codes out back with my EVIL sway bar and another set I think it will be great thank you for your input guys
