The huge improvement coming from off-road side which I would say has saved my head from a few dingers.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I have this kit on my 21 3500 with a thuren track bar. Kit is nice and rides great. Truck has about a 1/2&quot;-3/4&quot; rake still but I have a heavy cattle bumper on it.</div>

Spring rate is ~25% lower than stock so certainly rides better.<br /> <br /> You&#039;ll need shocks with more travel but same compressed length.</div>
