I checked the measurements again today after putting a few miles on the truck. The change is a good solid inch, if not a hair more. Could have something to do with bind in the bushings when the truck was first lowered, etc. Hey, either way, I'm quite happy with the outcome. Once the 275/70 Revos go on Monday, I'll give her a good wash and call it done for a while!

Your thought regarding OEM quality was one reason I went with the Toyota springs. The other is that for some reason the PP springs felt a little on the soft n' bouncy side for me. It may simply be due to the longer length of the PP coils. Regardless, Chris' (calg3) truck looks perfect with the PP springs. Who knows, maybe I'll wake up one morning, and a set of Cornfed or Protech spacers will be waiting at the front door...

I believe the PP springs are progressive vs the Toyota coils being straight wound. That means the PP springs will be softer initially but stiffen up with compression. I think it also means that you can't shim them with spacers to change the ride height like a staight wound spring...
