Yup, been running the 6% coils since September. Truck looks better, the way it should from the factory. The performance is much better, took the washy SUV feeling out of the front end, really tightened it up. It handles turns better too, highway off ramps feel more stable. One suggestion, get the extended links for the swaybar, much stronger and bend like the stock ones and they just look better too. Enjoy....

Oh one other thing, go ahead and get the Bilsteins for the rear while your at it, I didn't do it yet and kinda wishing I did....

I've been runnin the Kore leveling which is basically the same as the Lorenz kit and love the way the truck rides and handles. Oh and I agree with jamesbfishin because I made the same mistake, go ahead and get the rear bilsteins while your at it.

I have the Lorenz system and have had great results. The Bilsteins really are a vast improvement over stock, and the parts supplied with the kit are high quality. I think he may even be running free upgrades to the sway bar links right now.

I've been running the stock tire and wheel combo, have a set of 305/65/17 BFG KM2's in the shed that I will mount up on the stock wheels (thats after giving up on my search for a wheel that I like with proper specs)

23% coils, what swayed you in the direction of the stiffer coils? Plow, winch bumper? How does it ride compared to stock with them?

Got any pictures of the truck with the coils and spacers combined?
