[QUOTE=SupercrewLightn;5190975]
I am really starting to like mine. I am not sure why but I got almost 3 inches from mine.. Honestly it's a bit more than I wanted but like you said they will settle some. Before I was at 41 rear and 37.5 front. Now I am at 40.5 front and still 41 rear. I was actually really second guessing them the day they were installed. I had some bags of concrete in the bed and it was a little nose high. And the ranchos were very stiff and jarring especially over speed bumps etc. but I have put about 150 miles on them and they really are starting to ride very nice! Way less body roll and like you mentioned the truck is way more planted. 1/2 an inch of rake is less than I wanted, but I will give it some time and if I need to will add some blocks in the rear. But after a few days with the ranchos I will say I am very impressed now
I am wondering if the reduced weight of the aluminum body is why we are seeing more lift than in previous models. I still think they will settle some but only time will tell.
Don't forget that you can adjust the dial if you think the ride is harsh. 1 is softest and 9 is firmest.
Picture links you posted are not working for me.

I just wanted to update my review.
They seem to have broke in some and the best I can tell they have settled about 1/8 of an inch so far. The quicklifts may settle more but I am beginning to suspect that the reduced weight of the truck over previous models will cause it to take longer to settle or not settle as much. My 2005 dropped around 1/2 inch within a month.
The ride is excellent, smooth while still handling much better around corners. The truck is also more planted to the road on bumps and the rear does not seem near as jumpy.

Good to hear. One question- have you noticed that the quick lifts make more noise? Ever since mine were installed I have a rattle/clunk over bumps. Not super loud, I would compare it to a loose hubcap or something like that. It definitely did not have the noise before the install..

I had them installed. I just went out and checked all the nuts and bolts I could reach. Everything seems tight. Is it possible I may need to adjust the center bolt on top of the shock?

I doubt that would be it but it is worth checking. What about the brake lines. Possible they came loose from the clamps that hold them or that the shop didn't secure them back correctly?
