Leaf Spring Hype

Very easy to install. Thanks to the accurate design and testing of the product, everything worked as advertised. I set mine to 40% (2mm black washer) on a 2017 F-150 RWD and raised the rear end about an inch. Ride quality is excellent and there is no noise from the unit itself. However, at the 2mm setting, there is a significant increase in stiffness and you will hear noise propagating through the frame/platform when hitting sharp bumps in the road meet street. This was my experience with a Bilstein 5100 front and rear. So if you're using stock shocks, you may not have a noticeable increase in bump noise. Overall truck handling and stability is greatly improved, especially when the reason for installing RAS is to stabilize the truck for transport and towing. But it didn't feel good to drag 10,000 pounds behind me with the impulse brakes. I ran the regular Roadmaster kit (not HD) on max settings and raised the front end 2 inches with Bilstein 5100 shocks and it turned my truck into a tractor.
