Any chance you would be willing to post your 3rd link dimensions and mounting geometry? System still working well? This could be a big upgrade to the Giant Motorsports DDL system that'll make it attractive to many.
I've got +3 (stock a-arm 3.0 front) and like the feel and stance when lightly loaded: 1 spare, tools, jack, etc. For towing I'd prefer a stiffer leaf (load leaf). I've also seen someone with a +5 Deaver without load leaf to help compensate for a heavier planned bed load, without adding stiffness...
Front shocks are to rough (ruff)? Took me a while to decipher out "rouge" - since I kept reading it as "Rogue" Racing. Ok, so before changing coils, consider shock valving. That's more likely the culprit in your rough ride (in my opinion).
I did it for a number of reasons. But mostly motivated since I have bronze wheels, and it looked odd with black, grey, bronze all color scheme. Plus I got fiberglass front fenders and didn't want to highlight the different size little flare portions in grey between the stock rear and glass front.
Interested in your Harbor Freigt 2 ton skid and mounting plate. Are they still available? My jack is specifically the 62247, which is just slightly longer than the 68051.

Is this bolt on? Can it easily be returned to stock when my lease is up? What about warranty?
JUST KIDDING!
Build progress is looking nice. Fun to watch.
My GPS issue comes and goes. I'm running 37" and it usually is correct, but occasionally goes way off. Haven't done the batter thing, but I don't know how that'd be a permanent fix? Perhaps it is?
Just a thought on this... Could you fix one end of the axle with a link versus the King shock and leave the other end open? That would control pinion angle based on one side of the truck, and still allow for independent articulation. Obviously you can't fix both sides, as that'd bind the system...
With these inside the truck cab, how bad of a glare or reflection and light inside the vehicle was there?
Found my answer along with good interior pics (not bad at all) in another thread...
"There is some reflected light also with the dual style and I am going the experiment with some charcoal...
I've got HID BajaDesign LaPaz lights and they throw further than my Rigid LEDs. BUT, they come on much slower. It takes them a little time to get up to brightness. LEDs of course come on immediately. HIDs do produce some heat so that helps melt snow and ice, and LEDs don't typically.
So, the added mass up front is loading the front springs to bring it down. You need stiffer springs, and possibly a slight increase in dampening to dampen the added mass and stiffer springs. Going to Geiser springs will be a big help in returning your truck to original performance. OR, going to...
37" KO2 update... All seems great on the tires and road feel. I did stick one 37" on my matching Roost rim underneath in stock spare location. It does fit with a little clearance, but I had a concern with the differential rubbing as the suspension cycles up and thus back a bit. Well, it does...
Glassworks, and their liners too. I prefer the shape and contours of these the best. Considered Boatecs for a bit better fit/finish (I've heard, not seen). And really didn't care for the "droopier" look of Fiberwerx.
Just had 37" BFG KO2 installed yesterday. Haven't put much mileage on them. I did tear through an empty business park on my way to the office this morning to feel handling and acceleration - feels pretty close to stock actually. Not too sluggish, not too tall. I don't have a tune. I checked my...
Bigg50 - Yes, limit straps are recommended to limit down, versus using the shock as limiter.
Hole Shot - I have talked with SVC and he had concerns... Although the under sprung arrangement being better for compression stroke room, but cautioned about possible axle wrap - which I don't know...
