The ride and handling are night and day compared to the stock units, which in fairness, had 73k on them when replaced. Much firmer, much less rollover with the wider tread. I have noticed a bit of grease escaped my CV joint, but only from me really stretching it out in the woods.

I 'll get some pics when I can. The truck doesn't look big, but it lost that riding on 4 donuts look it has with the stock setup.
Sounds nice I look forward to the pics. UPS apparently destroyed my front coilovers in shipping so a new set was shipped out. I should finally have them in my hands on tuesday. I already got the BFG's mounted on my rims and plan on starting all the lifting Tuesday. I decided on Daystar 2 inch spacers because I was a little worried the downey coils would be too firm. I'll post pics too when I'm done.
