It's been eventful!... I owe my Silvers thread an update but to sum it up really quickly, the best suspension setup that I've tested is the Silvers up front and KW in the rear. This is how the pig should've come from the factory - absolutely amazing in every way.

Silvers has been good about reworking the rears and I'm waiting on the final (hopefully) rendition later this week or next week. If it all works out, I'll be selling my KW kit soon.

did this today- probably one of the easiest suspension jobs ive done. Rears for a non-airbag setup take 10 mins a side? drop the shock and endlink and pull it out.

job takes about 2-2.5 hours

thanks for the write up

Very helpful post. Thank you! Pro tip. Mark the top hat of the spring assembly so it is aligned with the guide pin on the bottom of the strut. The one that sits in between the pinch bolt. I installed Dinan springs last night. Also have an 18mm spark plug socket handy if the impact doesn’t work.
