My suspension set-up is complete and now my truck handles like it's on rails!!! I have the stock run flats and let me tell you. With the stock springs, the rear of the truck is all bouncy when you hit a large bump/speed bump. Now, its solid and controlled. Not harsh but controlled. Also, you can now really feel the stiffness of the shocks in a good way. Very much more responsive and balanced.
Bwoody springs and endlinks + rear addco sways = :)

Nice...Im thinking with the reporting we've been getting on improvements in handling - these beasts have to be close if not over 1G in lateral accel. Seems unrealistic to have an SUV that handles that well. Of course who would've thought an SUV would be launching the way we do!!!

That is a concern of mine. I don't want the rear lower than the front.

The rear isn't 'actually' lower than the front. If the frame was sitting on the ground as with most vehicles, the rear fenders are usually made lower than the front fenders. It's most noticeable to me on Bimmers. I think they call it the reverse rake look. Not a big deal IMO. The BWoody springs just levels the Jeep out.

Yes, the beast now handles like its on rails! You can really throw this thing around now and NOT be scared of the back bouncing / chirping around when you hit a small bump.
As I eluded to earlier, the ride over bumps is also more controlled and smoother. Going quickly over speed bumps and humps no longer causes grandpa/grandma in the back to spit out their dental work!!!

I'm routinely getting .99 to 1.02 G every time out at the track... ditching good years and fixing body roll is a winning combination!
