Does it feel unbalanced? Right now I have some version of the mod c code with v code fronts and it feels oversprung. People hate sitting in the back so I'm looking at tossing those and putting in the procomp 222415 springs. How does it do with towing? Did you have to add the shims to correct pinon angle?

22415 does require corrective shims in the rear if you are removing the lift block/bump stop tang (the stock block is degreed itself, but adding the 22415s requires additional correction due to additional spring lift). Ride quality is more contingent on shocks than springs, but with the Bilstein 5165s it's a little harsh for my liking though I don't have much for weight in the back. I haven't towed with it yet, waiting to get properly-sized air springs for capacity.

With the procomp spring in the rear your rear will be about 2 inches higher than the front

I recently put on V/C from ATS on my 2005 X. Good and level, about a 2" lift from stock. Rides nice. Junior at ATS helped me get what I needed.

When you say 'oversprung' do you mean stiff or just a lot of bounce?

Before doing the ATS C codes in the rear I also considered a recommendation I saw in a thread here to get the two inch lift using those ProComp 22415 springs, but as I recalled it required taking off one leaf from the pack.

To me it's not that bad, but my wife and kids hate it. It's such a stiff ride. I was just curious if anyone had done it this way. I'm going to try it when I know for sure if I have a job October 1st.

What do you have for shocks, and how old are they?
