Just installed the springs yesterday. Went for a quick 10km road drive. They feel really good with the little driving I have on them. I was on the mid perch setting before the new springs. The stiffness and ride quality is softer and smoother then mid perch but not as mushy and nose dive like as on the low perch setting. Its been a couple years since I was on the lower perch but I would say the ride quality feels like something in-between the low and mid perch setting.

As for measurements after my 10km drive this is where its at: Note Im running the actual 35/12.5/20 BFG K02's for measuring purposes.

Before measurements on the mid perch setting were, 41 1/4" ground to fender and 24 3/4" centre of hub to fender. After new springs were installed on the low perch setting and after a 10km drive the truck sits at, 42 1/2" ground to fender and 26" centre of hub to fender.

Hope this helps. I will up date later down the road after some 4x4ing and after putting on some decent kms.

How does that compare to the rear?

Thanks for the update! So it looks like these springs do come in at top-perch height at initial install, sagging to be determined.

Just ordered a set of Eibachs as my front end seems to be sagging a bit after seven years...hope to level it back out with these springs.
