    Springs are longer than stock but unless you got lower capacity ones like several of us suggested and you're running 600lb springs you probably didn't get any lift. Just that your old springs were shot to hell.

    Which is normal. All springs are a wear item and need replaced.

    The height difference from the monroe quick struts and the kings is 1.5".

    King rep said there will be a 1.5" difference and there is, monroe springs and shocks did not give me a 1.5", either way its all good and very happy with 600 pound springs

    Yep. When I installed my "two-inch lift" OME suspension, my truck raised about 4.5 inches...

    Yup so they are shorter which doesn't help the ride quality.

    Eh yes and no. The ride I've gotten out of Frankenstein is super smooth and flexes crazy good on the shorter springs.

    But mainly I just wanted to make the point that single cabs don't have shorter leafs is all.

    was this an 03-04 model by chance? I’ve been trying to find an RS3200 with the wire harness but have had no luck.
