It was an exercise in frustration but paid off. I will say they ride great on and off road but my next set will be something different most likely.
My plan is to swap to 4.5" springs in the rear to get the ass end up at least visually equal while loaded. I don't mind if it sets with a rake in daily driver mode as long it stops looking like a dog dragging it's ass in the grass while loaded. I don't think it's really that my rear coils are bad, but I don't think that they are meant to set level with an empty vehicle and somehow magically stay level with all of the junk loaded in there. It sets pretty level when the vehicle is empty, and my guess is that they were designed for that?

Loaded vs not loaded.

My god yea deff tanking a dump. Fwiw i have their first gen rears which look like the fronts (top 3 winds touching at ride height). From what they told me the new coils are softer. The good they ride better, the bad they squat. Debated switching but going to wait on my tire carrier which will add some weight back there.

I contemplated adding some height in the front to get rid of the rake and in the end left it alone so The back would look low when loaded.
