    Hahaha:p I have been anticipating this for a long time. So your running the 450 lb springs now? When you spoke to sway away did they tell you 650 spring rate was what the shocks came with or did the wrong coils get installed from factory?

    Ya soo they were the right springs. 450 stock, I thought they were 650lb. So I bought and installed the 400s and they ride a bit smoother. But it still isn't plush at 3". Anyone have input? My SAWs ride rough. But it's probably preload related. Hey Brian! Whats up? Lol

    Probably because you have a single cab, I have the opposite problem I need stiffer springs for the dirt. I think it's recommended from factory you need to get your truck 5 feet in the air a minimum of ten times to break in the coils :p
