Hopefully that captures the ride height

1: What shocks do you have?
2: Did you leave the leaf spring eyes loose until you had it on the ground? (If you tighten in the air it will ride way worse)
3: Have the springs had a chance to break in?
4: What tire pressure do you run?
1: Bilstein 5125s
2: I left them loose for a while, drove over some curbs, drove around for a few miles
3: They've been on the truck for a while, I don't have many actual miles on it.
4: 38psi last time I checked.

Also, Alcan will make springs any way you want them. Im pretty sure the specs the BJS lift springs are made to give up a little ride quality to keep the price down. You can get an Alcan spring pack custom made that will ride as good as any leaf spring.
I did replace the shackles with factory replacement ones from BJ's, someone mentioned longer shackles might help, but that would also lower it.
I will definitely contact them about that.
