    This kit actually has quite a bit more adjustment than most systems and in fact I dont know of any other system that provides both compression and rebound adjustments that can be done in the field.

    Adjusting the springs is typically an off the truck adjustment on all coilover systems due to the risk of damaging the treads on the body of the shock. It's under quite a bit of load.

    Yes and no. If you plan on not adding any weight up front for a long time, definitely adjust them. I ran them at the preset without any weight for a little while. I turned the compression way down and rebound down a little and it was nice. As I have added more weight I keep turning the compression up to improve handling ( no sway bar). The ride has become extremely nice.

    This is what I was looking for. So the adjustments really help with the ride at factory preload it sounds like. Do you get a ton of top out off road?

    No, but I run fairly low rebound number.

    Awesome. So it basically just cancels out the top out because of slow rebound.

    Can you comment further on city driving? I'm a day or so away from pulling the trigger on these. My truck is a daily driver 90% of the time but I want as substantial of off-road capability as I can get.


    Iv got no concerns what so ever on off road capability as the reviews are great and there are ZERO used ones for sale the whole time they have been out....unlike the other brands!! All my questions are to how it handles around town.

    My wife HATES the stock ride and gets car sick if we are out for anything over 45min. Hoping this eats typical road noise a little better!

    Order placed. What's the deal with SPC UCAs? Junk or no? They were free with my order.

    You can adjust these to absorb the whoops in most road conditions. Your tires will play a larger role in road noise than anything else on your truck.

    Can confirm leafs were included. Is this how I should have expected them delivered?

    Mine were on a pallet with all the others boxes, but not wrapped in any way. Even UPS would find it difficult to fuck up a leaf spring.

    I highly recommend going with Low Range Offroad for your BP-51 needs. They took care of me and now my truck rides smooth like butter :)
