I have the 3.25, rides great, much better than stock IMHO!! Can't remember exactly what I gained front and rear, but it was around 4". Had it for 8 months and no sag (stock bumpers tho).

I have had my 3.25 inch lift for the past 3 years and it has been great. The springs are around 5 lbs/inch stiffer than stock so they ride great.

Good to hear. I'm ordering Rusty's new 3.25" Advanced lift next month. Anyone running this with winch/bumper? I have a teraflex puck spacer I was thinking of throwing on top of the front springs to keep it level with the extra weight.

Out of curiosity, did you just calculate the spring rates for both coils using your own measurements or are the spring rates published somewhere?

i thought the shocks accounted for the ride quality, not the springs. ??
