    I too did this same swap a few weeks ago. Took the King 600lb coils about 1k miles to start breaking in, until then they were stiff AF. Now at about 1,800 miles they are butter, especially at highway speeds. Rides better than dad's Caddy or mom's 2015 Kia Optima. I always thought those cars were pretty plush, but a truck riding better than them makes me grin at every bump/dip.

    Just want to post a before and after of my truck after spraying the wheel wells. And thanks to @Hardscrabble for the recommendation!
    IMO truck looks 10x better.

    It's probably some special Canadian chemical you can only get at Tim Hortons.

    Doesn't even have a license plate yet!
    Do you get any flex in your steps? I'm beginning to think I didn't torque them down enough because I got a lot of resistance from the threaded holes when I was tightening the bolts...

    Looking back looks like he recommended 3M undercoating, can you elaborate on your process?

    I had just washed it so it was clean. I didn't cover anything. It has a good nozzle so you can hit where your aiming. Did 2 coats

    I tore her apart to access the two switches next to the fog light switch and rigged up the harnesses for my light bar and my ditch lights. Got the bar mounted, but received the wrong ditch lights bracket (gave me a third gen bracket by mistake), will have the new brackets today for mounting. Me and my coworker jammed this out in our parking garage at work after we got off at 11. Finished around 12:30.
