Handling is really good; even better since I went to 295's from 35" X 12.5" tires.

I had to take the Hellwig OFF! It makes such a big difference that with the Fabtech springs I was getting some major oversteerage. Like someone said before, big gocart. A friend of mine had some trouble keeping up in his Acura.

Yep - I had a set of Fabtech springs on and when they did flex the truck literally bounced in the direction of the rebound. Same thing with the Skyjackers. My truck with dual 5100 Bilsteins in the front and stock C code springs rides something like a U or V code spring equipped truck.
