I can't find any research on these coils. A few people have mentioned using them on their truck but I haven't found any feed-back. Any and all thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have any pics with the coils on blackdak? I remember you having those pics like a year ago. or are there some new ones with the drop on? Did you do anything in the back drop wise? What shocks did you go with. Thanks...

I've had mine on for a little while with new bumpstops and they ride sweet!!!
I have the 4.7 with 2" coils and a 1" tall poly bumpstop and it rarely bottoms. I also ordered their drop-shock, which I am probably disappointed with, and will go with a nitro-active from bell-tech next time around. But their drop shocks do still ride a little stiffer than factory. The drop was a little uneven by about 1/2" but maybe I'm the only one that's happened to.
I do totally recommend some new swaybars though b/c then these trucks would outhandle many sports-cars with the right tires.
I have a BF Comp T/A 16" 255 ZR / 50 up front and they are the stickiest tire I have ever driven!! Even stickier than the Pirelli's P-600 on my BMW!!
It will outhandle the BMW 535i with the right swaybars as a matter of fact!!! This truck will swing the ass out just because the front's grip so well. I need like a 275 Z or V / 50 in the back for spinning and to keep the back glued down.
Theres my feedback. Get the Springtech's!! Can't beat the price!!!!!
P.S.- Drop it 2 and 4 to level it out. My back sits at least 2" higher with a 2" block!!!

The back's gonna sit almost 2" higher than the front if you go 3/4. At least that's how it is on mine. You should go 3/5 to get it near level.

Sorry, I forgot I went 2 and 2 cuz I was hoping to just level the back with a 2" block, but it ended up pointing up I think. I'm switching to a 3" block soon.
How do those nitro-active shocks ride/handle????
