Finally got around to installing some new front springs and rear spacers. I ordered from CJC but they just drop shipped the springs from Thuren.

The truck now sits at 26.5" for the fronts and 26.25" at the rear. Started with Fronts = 24.75, Rears 25.25. So it's slightly lower in the rear but not noticeable. Measurements made with bags empty.
Note about Traxda spacers: It looks like they changed the design so you no longer have to rotate the bags 180 degrees as others have mentioned in previous posts. To install the new design you remove the bottom plate from the bags then install the spacer.
Drove it out to our regular weekend hangout after the install. The drive is a mountain road with lots of curves then 12 miles on a dirt road. As others have mentioned the Thuren springs are less harsh. It took some pretty good hits on the dirt road and absorbed much better than the stock springs. Definitely worth it. I also noticed the truck doesn't push into turns anymore. When it was new it would push pretty hard into turns. I thought it was because it was so heavy but after the new sway bar and springs it pretty much goes where you point it.
