With time they probably would have settled some, but I sent them back for the light duty pack which gave a perfect 2 inch lift. After about a year, they haven't sagged or settled at all. Good springs.
Its good to hear they will do that for you. I've done a bit of research before ordering them and hadn't found anyone else saying as much. Might have just been a bad set? I dunno, but I've seen other guys who put the medium duty 2" springs on and got just over 2"...

Otherwise, like I said I was planning on adding 2" lift shackles or relo brackets, so if they give me 4" I probably won't complain.

Went to check out winding stairs road today and this happened. Limped it down the mountain and pulled into a vato-zone and luckily they had one for $17.

Mine is removed. I plugged up the vac line and ran the hoses straight to the heater core.

Tied a tire to the front so i can push people since it's snowing. Just incase i run into someone's eurobox, they tend to break down in snow apparently.

Some horrible picture taking for you...

Measured from center of axle to bottom of factory fender flare. Don't remember off hand what that measurement is stock, it's on here somewhere, but it was that measurement +4 with the OME medium duty spring pack.
