Thanks, I was pleasantly surprised that the ride quality feels like stock. The shocks that come with the stage 1 kit feel really good. I might have to lower the psi I'm running 36 psi on 37x13.5x17 tires.
I run 32-33 psi on my 35"s, much better.

I have the RK 2.5 but went with Fox shocks. With 35s I find it rides best around 32 psi.

I added a bit of tasteful silver trim to the transmission console. The indentations in the console (which allow the trim to seat perfectly) seem to suggest that this was something that the factory missed.

I like the ride. The handling is more crisp (for lack of a better word). Some of that is due to the steering stabilizer but overall the suspension is more responsive too. Driving at higher speeds is a pleasure and the little bumps I hit going onto the beach seem to be less jolting. I unfortunately have not had an opportunity to fully articulate the suspension or do any sort of off-roading so cant give any guidance there.

Got my Clayton Off-Road 2.5 overland lift installed. Cannot find the wheels to run with 37 so am holding out with stock wheels with1.5 spacers till I pick what I want. Current tires are 275/70/18 Goodyear wrangler Ultra Terrains. Clayton says 4.75 back spacing for their lifts. I also just had the steering TSB done. Now this thing drives VERY NICE. I have the shocks currently set on the Soft SP2 mode and soft 1 on the upper adjustment.
