Thanks again guys. I have to say that the ride absolutely sucks though. I'm going to have to do something different for the rear. I definitely wouldn't recommend the mcg kit if you're worried about ride quality.

I thought I was getting old, but the GF kit isn't a great ride either...

I didn't change the shocks out. There's plenty of travel in the shocks the spring rate is just too high for my taste. I think I'm going to cut the stock springs and see how I like that. I had cut coils on my 03 & 05 and they both had a good ride quality. I'm just not sure how the ride will be affected with the rear coil springs.

Thanks again everybody. I've been hoping and praying that the ride would improve as the springs got some miles on them but it just really isn't getting any better. I'm thinking about checking out some better bumpstops to see if that might help the ride. It's just frustrating because my 08 with a spindle drop rode just like factory.
