    Alil stiffer then stock, less body roll, I dont feel big holes in the road as much anymore, I can just glide over them more easy (havent been offroad yet with the new suspension, but that WILL be fixed with some trails soon) ;) :mudding:

    Hey Josh, I rebuilt my sorry ass sagging rear springs by adding 4 junk yard springs off a Ford, put 2 per side , I knew it would bring them back to life a bit & maybe get an 1.5" lift, what I got was a superior on/offroad ride & a full 3" of lift !!!:eek::eek::D

    Thanks man! I appreciate it, and I gotta agree with you about our trucks being twins! :D And I LOVE the ride, SO MUCH BETTER then before. Not as smooth on road, but still pretty dang smooth for a lifted truck if you ask me, but offroad is ALOT better. And I never measured the difference before and after, but I am SURE I got ATLEAST a FULL 3" of lift, maybe slightly more. I wish I could add another inch of lift to the front, but I dont know how.

    Hell yea!! :cool: Any pics of the side view? And can you tell if your payload increased?

I cut my magnaflow off and tried to clamp the flowmaster on but it didnt work to well, but it sounds freakin BEAST! Will have pics up and try to get a video up when it gets put in. :D:cool:
