[QUOTE="1stSFG, post: 733255, member: 6223"] Alright. Feeling like a full fledged guinea pig. One that at this point feels pretty good. Atlas springs installed with SDHQ bump PLATE. Not the bump shock kit. This is to save anyone that wants to travel down my road here. The atlas springs come with a top kick plate to mount the u bolts. You don't want or need that as the SDHQ bump plate does that job. (see photo) I actually was under the impression that these would be an 11 plate pack. nnnn. Wrong answer. The "race pack" is that. This is an 8/9 plate pack. I was not extremely happy about that,but Pete told me don't worry, be happy. If I'm not happy with them AT ALL, call him and he'll make it right however need be. Hey, their here so might as well right? Before I can thoroughly test these puppies out I've got to hit the exhaust shop to have my duals tightened up. Near full droop now will likely cut my tail pipes clean off. Tuesday morning. I will say that the ride home was night and day. Again, 40 miles of hole filled roads and 20 miles of dirt hole filled roads. Crazy how the leaf springs actually improved the front end as well! The GB coil overs up front now seem to plant more firmly. The ass was actually having an effect on how the front end responded on bad roads. It's a package deal that will impress ANYONE on how this truck handles hole filled, cracked, frost heaved and settled asphalt roads. It's like a new vehicle. Time will tell how they hold up, next week they'll get a test of high speed off road performance capability. Or rather scratching the bump stops. The OE rear height from the ground to the rear fender lip was 42 3/4", center cap to lip 26 1/2". With the leafs 44 1/4" & 28". I was told there would be some settling. Obviously. :-/ See photo after front coil overs and atlas +2 leaf springs. [/QUOTE]
