Ran into a problem with installing the fronts... ruined the top bolt in the stock strut/shock.

Rears:
This was the incorrect way of installing the rear. The collar just wobbles on the spring plate.

Overall I would say Im happy with them. I wish they went a little lower. Im almost maxed out I have the one ring on the rear and fronts. I cut the bump stops on the fronts.
I havnt taken out the helper springs yet or taken out the adjuster ring... I only took out the lock rings.
They arnt super hard... They could be a bit stiffer as the fronts scrape on the plastic liners and edge of the wells. otherwise a super smoothe ride! Def. reccomend these if your looking for adjustability, ride comfort, and that low look!
Thanks Garm!
