. . . i was surprised that as my truck sat as is, she only dropped about 3". So it actually leveled my truck out perfectly in terms of front to rear wheel well space.
Kudos for all the research you did. Unfortunately, the one thing you didn't check/research prior to purchase, which is critical, were your realworld axle weights (i.e., CAT scale ticket). Granted, how well it drives and the amount of squat/rear end sag, may be a good subjective warm and fuzzy. However, for those who put some credence or trust in the manufacturer's ratings, the objective results of a CAT scale ticket easily trump any subjective observation.
YMMV.
