    I plan on adding firestone airbags to aid in the weak negative arch stock springs.
    I love the nice soft ride and the ability to have infinate adjustability is a nice feature.

    I'm installing the J66 on my DCSB in a couple days. I'll update with measurements.

    J66 installed a couple days ago. I'm not sure if they're going to settle, but they lifted about 1.25".
    So far they feel great. I only have a tonneau cover and bed mat (roughly 120lbs total) plus some steps. Shocks are the smooth Bilstein 8100, which I was running with the stock leafs for a while. Rear feels much more planted but handles crappy roads a lot better. Looking forward to trying it out on some trails.
    Front was already lifted 1.5".
    I did the Archive bump stops and U-bolt flip kit while I was at it.

    Appreciate the update! Curious as well if they’ll settle. Good looking truck love that wind chill pearl! I was trying to get one but no luck, only in a long bed. Ended up putting a deposit on a lunar rock

    Correction.... Checked my original measurements and the J66 lifted about 1.25". Which is perfect for me. They're definitely soft, and they would probably feel even better with a shock softer than the 8100.But I wanted to keep the on-road handling of the Bilsteins. So far, so good!
    And thank you. :thumbsup:
