Do you notice a difference in handling or the ride? The break-over angle of our trucks is the one place we really need help. Looks like a great and reletively inexpensive mod to have. I've been toying with the idea of putting airbags on my truck to have adjustible height, and smooth out those washboard roads.

The springs are in an initial compression state, so it does firm up a little, but not much. I have winch springs so it wasn't as noticable as on another open top we did earlier.
Handling was the same, if not more responsive/sensitve due to the firmer springs. Be very careful how much you alter the spring distance as you will cause halfshaft bind. The developer of this suspension system figured out how to correct this, but since it is still under development, I'm not at liberty to disclose the method. I will be at the Chile Challenge in February doing a field test, so some action pics will follow.
After I put on the 41" IROKs, my breakover angle should be pretty good.
