    Alright, they're in and set about right. They ride 100x better cranked up IMO. Felt like I was driving a boat at 2" up. Right now they're cranked up for about 2.5-2.75". Thank you to DSM for a great deal, and especially for Marco for the one on one help!

    Nice. How do they ride compared to stock Bilsteins at stock height? Have you ridden in trucks with the lifted Bilsteins? If so, how do they compare?

    Compared to stock? No idea, its been 3 years since I've driven a stock truck. Its better than a spacer lift though. The best way to describe it, its still a firm ride, little bumps, still there, but on larger things like speed bumps, that's where I really noticed it. Usually my truck springs up on speedbumps, goin over the top. These guys give way. All in all, still firm but we shall see. I'm hoping to take them offroad this weekend if I get my rears today like I expect.

    I noticed a much better ride after taking them offroad a few times. Really breaks them in and then they feel even better

    the DSM UCA's are by far the sexiest upper arms out there. the boxed design is so much cooler than tube

    i would love to see them make a LT kit with boxed uppers and lowers... hint hint

    Spanner wrench? What spanner wrench?

    We put them in a spring compressor and turned them pretty much by hand. No spanner wrench, plus its tough to get one in there with the reservoir.

    *I'm new, so please forgive my ignorance...

    What benefits would a set-up (front 2.5 coils, UCA, and rear 2.0 shocks) provide over the stock set-up? Does this set-up stress or cause excessive wear on the remaining stock suspension components (springs, sways, etc)?

    Adjustable ride height and a much much much better ride than stock. Uca helps with alignment if you lift it mote than a couple inches. Wear and tear depends on amount of lift you set them at, but no.. Not really any problems because of them. Just a sweet suspension set up
