So I have mentioned earlier that I was having problems with the 863 springs not being heavy enough for all the weight I have out back now. I had added the air bags in them and that def helped.
Long story short I acquired some new 864 springs. These things are STIFF! Wow. Same free standing height as 863s but raised the truck an inch. I had to take the 1 inch spacers out (which I liked). I also removed the air bags. So far this seems to be a sweet spot for my rig.
Only problem now is that I have the back pretty stiff and the front is opened up with the three link and softer springs on the coilovers. I plan to add a sway bar on the front which I think will help a lot.
Also I think the shocks are not valved stiff enough. Unfortunately I will have to wait a while before spending the money and time to do that. Not looking forward to do that since I feel that it should have been closer from the start. Oh well it is what it is.
Still works pretty great right now.
