I'm halfway excited over here Boss, tell us how it rides upon arrival back to the house. :D
And I am almost sure they will settle, 5305 coils are 5305, desite the -*** numbers, and too many in the NBS section have used them and they worked.

If you could feel the stupid jittering my truck does you'd be VERY excited LOL!

I'm seriously considering replacing the Tbars up front too...we'll see where it's at here in about an hour

A definite improvement, much less jittering/shaking if any at all :waytogo:

I forgot to measure honestly, but it looks a little higher but I'll take that for now and wait to see how they settle in.

Takes a few weeks to settle but you won't care after driving it for a couple days.

Boss, if you are still shaking/vibrating, you may want to check component of the drivetrain.
Do you sit up to 1/2" higher than before?

I really like my 4230 but you have to remove the bumpstop bracket (I'd honestly recommend it for any drop 3"+ on these trucks). The 5305 springs ride fantastic but I wanted a bit more drop and a little stiffer springrate since I enjoy driving fast. Belltech makes the best springs for these trucks :imo:
