    OK. Thanks for the input. Going to see how she feels after the extra weight.

    This is true. The ride was stiff and down travel sucked.

    That noise you are hearing is probably the shock/spring extending its max down travel. I had the same issue and I think @bakerla does as well.
    Consider the 887 if its still too stiff after you add weight.

    I'm fortunate/unfortunate enough to have 886s on the truck now. But they have to get replaced within the next month. I guess I'll see if I like them when fully armored. That'll determine if I need to get 887s or stick with what I got.

    The 887 is the same spring rate as the 885 but with an extra coil.

    Yeah. I just liked how it handled with 885s. If the 886s feel like that for me with all that stuff, I'll probably stick with those. It's great for me since I DD a lot and don't run a swaybar.

    I've had 3, it's always bothered me though that one of them is way bigger than the other two...
