The Skyjacker's angles are NOT this bad. Trust me! He did say he also has Bilsteins. Is it possible that he has the adjustable ones with a 2.5" Daystar.. If not, since you had to take apart your coilover for the daystar, is it possible that your lower spring mount is flipped upside down. That would cause the harsh ride as well. That is too steep of angles for any leveling kit or 3" skyjacker.

Other than that, very sharp truck..

The shocks are not adjustable and the dealer installed the leveling kit, so I think that the kit is in correct. Can you explain or show me what it's suppose to look like, because they may have screwed up.

Does anyone think I should get the 2.0 autospring and swap them out?

i would def do something because i never seen angles that bad besides the ball joints and cv joints wearing out, your suspension can not cycle corectly like that.

I'm calling daystar today.

I'm thinking about going with the smallest autospring kit I can fit with my tires. I'm going to start a new thread asking everyones opinion and how their ride quality is.

RCD 4.5" or the Rancho 4" kits. Personally, I'd go with the RCD. Its more money but worth it.
