update...

after about a month im am glad that i bought these springs...

they arent nearly as stiff as i was expecting them to be which is great, and they ride smooth on the road when coupled with my monroe sens-a-tracs... other than the fact that i need longer shocks, they provide excellent flex and i even get looks from people now...

one thing to note is that they do flex slightly more when going around corners than the stockers did which is reasonable since im 2 inches higher...

update #2...

for anyone wondering, the 901s are still one of my favorite mods...
still ride great, and they havent sagged at all... still gotta hop a little to sit on the tailgate, but that will be less of an issue when the front gets leveled...

and, FWIW, either buy or make the LSPV bracket... im so sick of having to hit the brakes in a hurry and having the front end dive... and actually, i had the front end lock up the other night when the roads were wet, and it didnt even feel like the rears engaged at all...
