It seems to have settled down to its "normal" ride height. Its almost 2" lower than stock. Just as H&R described. Its definately firmer, but also a little supple over the small highway ripples. Make sense? Not sure if its the progressive wind in the springs or what. I like the look, but would kinda liked a little more drop in retrospect.(a full 2" or 2.25") I've got to get my set of 22's cleaned up(285/35-22 Toyo Proxes) and see how the final outcome is. But you have to remember, this is a short wheelbase truck. So normally the ride is like a Jeep Wrangler. It tend to buck or rock back and forth over some bumps. I really noticed it today. Here's what: you know when they open a road to put in a new pipe? After a few weeks the patch gets slightly depressed? Well, the truck goes "Thump-Thump" over these. I wonder if different struts would help? Our wives would probably object to our adolescent behavior! Bob

I ordered hood struts from Redline last night. They are set up for the edge already and should be an easy install. Hate that prop rod thing. Will post when I get them. Bob

They were very easy to install and wire. Took about an hour to do. Almost a plug-n-play installation. So far I like them. They are pretty bright during the day. I ordered the "offset" tube type from Dan and the tube gets kinda lost because of the LED's at night. They throw out a good bit of light, I'm impressed. They auto dim to about 50% output when you put the headlights on. contact Dan Smith at daytimebrightlights.com, he'll set you up with a set. Good luck, Bob

What did you use on the chrome hood strip and over the headlight assemblies? Not sure which way I want to go. Body color or black. Thanks. Bob

The kit from H&R did not come with, nor was there anything about camber plates/ bolts/ eccentrics in the kit. H&R said this was a direct bolt in. All I would have to do is a 4-wheel alignment afterwards. My shop that I used did the install for $500 and the alignment for $89. Which I thought was reasonable. Total time in the shop was just over 4 hours. I got estimates from 3 different shops before I had it done. They were $500 to $780 @ STS! Hope this helps. The main reason I did all this is because I'm an amputee and with the wide sills I was having a little difficulty getting in without banging my leg all over the bodywork. That 2" made just the right change for me. Good luck, Bob
