    A slew of pricey stuff my wife hates me for.
    I did the lift almost a year before I did the bumper and skid plate. The truck sat dead level. It handled a little stiffer, but who really cares? The upside is that it corners like a champ.

    I experienced some settling after the bumper and skid were installed, and IMO the springs are compressing as OME designed them to. Keep in mind I'm running the 4 door w/ 6' bed and over 400 lbs of armor, so I've got a lot more weight distributed to the center than the standard cab. I'm also planning on a rear bumper as well.

    If you've got back problems or hemorrhoids sell the truck immediately, and certainly don't think about lifting it :D Very rarely will ride quality improve with height, and if it does it cost you a small fortune to achieve it. That's my $.02
