Yes, with the new spring at the top, nose got leveled and the truck feels different.
Other than that suspension has been pretty hard to fully compressed offroad.

I have not use all the travel of the shocks yet, those springs are too hard to compress.
Bypass all the way open shaft only compress 2"

How's that ride quality working out then?

If you go to an 18" spring from the 19.5" you have on there you can get much lighter weights. You'll just have to measure to make sure you don't hit coil bind.
I'm in the same boat, a 19.5 is the perfect length spring, but it's only available in an 800 pound rate. Which is way to heavy for our trucks without a full engine cage and a bunch more weight up front...

Actually, I see filthy motorsports has PAC springs in 20" with a 700 pound rate now. Problem solved.

Reading this thread made me a little sick to my stomach. I hope you get this truck sorted out after all you have invested- time/money/aggravation. When you do, you are definitely going to need a nice front bumper to show off all that hardware.

Yes, i changed the upper spring only for rude heigh, but for better use of the total travel i need softer spring below.
Bypass is all the way open ST LT and rebound fully open -2 turn in.
This happened to me on a series of erosion offroad terrain
When the rebound adjustment is too fast,the front end will start kick and move from side to side after hitting a series ofclose bumps

Driving the truck on rough terrain,
Makes me headache. Literally

As ntn says, i will need 700/20" springs

Do you use all usuable travel of your LTS kit?
What is your bypass set up?
How many turns on
Long tube
Short tube
Rebound
