Good to know, since I'm only around 2-2.5 inches higher total I'll probably just get the fixed length at some point then. Truck just recently passed 100k so they've seen a thing or two.
I did have a lot of sway and unsteadiness in the rear, especially maneuvering at highway speeds (through construction zones and such) with my stock suspension, hence the hellwig and track bar.
Also have 5100s for the rear on the way. Have yet to install any of it so I will see how it handles once I do and go from there.

I installed the fixed Freedom Offroad rear arms on my 16 Rebel this spring/summer and I was really surprised at how much slop was back there. The bushing were rough but I have seen worse, but it still made the truck much more tighter. I also noticed it towed a little better, but thats just my seat of the pants
