I like them a lot, they settled perfectly and ride just the same if not a tad better than the 210v coils. Right now I have maybe half an inch of rake and it looks miles better than the 1.5-2in before. They're also much easier to compress and install/remove since the coil is slightly thinner, it was always a total pain to get the compressors in them and squish them down enough to pop them out
If you're one of the people who has a half inch lean in the rear then it would be smart to use one 8 wrap and one 7.5 wrap to even it out (about a 0.4 inch difference between the two), but for some reason I only have a 1/4 inch lean so I just use trim packers and it worked out perfectly
It would also be smart to get a close ballpark of how much weight you're carrying in the rear. I'm probably around 260lbs: my bumper is 150lbs, plus a 65lb spare tire/wheel, 25lb hi-lift and a small amount of tools and recovery equipment. Tbh I try not to think about all my extra weight and how much it's probably slowing me down lol but if I had to give an estimate for reference it's probably around there
