I can measure the Junko stockers when I get home if you want.
Carli doesn't release their spring rates apparently. Trade secrets lol. Would be easy enough to find out, but I didn't care enough to chase it down. They are a linear spring rate, rather than a progressive. Not sure if that matters to you.

Yea just be careful trimming that bolt. They snap real easy up inside the frame. There sending me a new set so I don't have to trim the bolt. I didn't want to cut anything because of warranty. They see anything suspension related cut off and they have an out. You would need to trim 1/4" at least off. I asked them to send me the ones like in there picture and the engineer told me they were not for 17's wouldn't work.
I noticed the same thing with the bolt. didn't think it was right, but at the same time didn't think too much of it. it works

Those bolts snap real easy and the pressure/angle on the bolt may help it along. There gonna call me and let me know, It's in the engineers hands right now. I flipped them around and it helped a little. I guess there is a left & right, one of the gussets is a little shorter. Guess we will see. Defiantly don't want to pop one of those bolts on a pot hole at 75 on the interstate.

Went to carli yesterday so they could take some measurements of the factory sway bar stuff. They gave me a shirt and hat for my time and said they'd send me whatever they decide on the redesign.
In the meantime, got around to installing my carli springs, bump stop drops, sway bar drop brackets (grinded down the factory bolts about 1/4 inch with a bench grinder), readylift trac bar bracket, one up off-road resivoir mounts.
Wheels should be here Tuesday, and fox shocks from accutune anytime from sept-oct supposedly. I'll pick up an adjustable trac bar from carli this summer also. I haven't measured, but from eye balling the front of the truck, it looks like the axle is just slightly favoring the driver side with readylift bracket.
EDIT: looks like the axle is pretty damn close to being perfectly centered. Maybe 1/8 - 1/16" off???

Yes......when the brackets are removed, you can slide the front bolt toward back of truck to remove it. Took me about a minute to grind each bolt. I grinded it down just before the threads start, that way I didn't screw anything up. Slid them back in and it worked like a charm!!!

It's just a name.
You can certainly put a smaller block in the rear and get rid of that red neck look. You can add air bags as well. But the block is what will lower the rear end.
