No one? Thumper, you say they are bad what was your expirence with them? All of my problems have been because of me and torn boots. My lower boot tore on a rock not because of the AS and both UCA boots tore because of the UCA hitting the spring which I guess could be blamed on the AS and the worn out one is just because dirt got in the torn boot.

Ride is great (better than my wife's 05 Sequoia)and no rubbing/impact issues.

Had the 2.5 AS and the front and rear were perfect height until any weight was put in the bed then had a rear low issue. Also didn't like the severe angle of the upper ball joints. This also made the front end ride stiff. I removed and went to stock. If I do it again I will only go 1.5 inches, a slight nose down , but better then stock and weight in the bed will ride level.

Bilstein 5100s, 2.25 lift in the front with about 5 miles on them. So far so good 
I got them installed today so I am still feeling them out but I like the new level stance and cant wait for some new wheels and tires
