Looks better now if you ask me.  Wait a bit till the springs break in and see how much they settle.  Gives you a little time to think about your options and do a little research.

Straw Smart Guy...they are indeed Alcan springs.  It is difficult to determine an exact lift height when matching spring brands.

It takes some planning a thought, I tried to plan ahead for added weight like bumpers, dual cases and rocker guards.  The springs are awesome, I just wish I would have ordered 4.5 inch springs.  Alcan (Charles & Tom) told me that Alcan springs generally run tall so mine were an exception.
