i didn't do the rear suspension, but i'm going to be doing that in december.
the difference between the front and rear suspension is noticable. when i
go over speed bumps before, the entire truck would rock, now it is only the
rear of the truck.
when i get the rear, i'm going to put a sway bar back there... between the
bar, bushings, and shocks, i'll get a noticable improvement back there.

They firmed my suspension up very nicely as well. Of course I'm compressing
them an extra 2 - 3 inches further than you are... They've been very
comfortable though, it was a very nice ride to Jon's for the BBQ on them.
Definately worth the $160
