    The ride is firmer, but I like it! No vibrations at all on the drive home and I got a full 3" of lift in the rear. No shims on the rear either.

    You ordered the stiffer springs up front, so you'll get more lift. My tires are 265/65/17.

    There's mud slung under the sliders and in the wheel wells.

    I left the sway bar in. My wife drives this truck from time to time, so I just left it in.

    I may take it out later on. When the factory warranty runs out. I've got around 27K on the clock and the warranty runs out at 36K.

    The install went smooth! We had to use ratchet straps to line up the rear spring to fall into the hole of the spring perch.

    I do have an issue though. Here it is. Hoping @Crikeymike will chime in.

    I ordered the 314 springs, which are supposed to yield 2" with up to 100lbs.

    Nothing installation-wise. Under Mike's recommendation, he said I would get 2"+ with the 314 coils, I got less than 1.5"

    The only person I know for sure that's not running a sway bar is @Jerneyman . He daily drives his without and says it's not that bad

    Before and after. These Dobinsons are quite beefy compared to factory.
