Are they any good? I currently have (~) 4" rearched factory springs with a 1" zero rate on the front. They flex all right, but I am getting into the (cut) fenders pretty good already with 37x12.50x16.5" BFG take offs on H1 wheels. Is 6" too tall? I don't care for big lifts.

I don't care for 6" springs. They ride like crap. I ran 2" springs, 37" hummers, and minimal trimming and loved the way the truck handled.

Yeah, but I am already into the fenders pretty good without even turning the wheels.

The H1's on a DRW Dana 60 stick out quite a ways.

My setup is

4" TC HDs (which have an extra small leaf at the bottom)
zero rate pushing the front axle forward (important to get that wheel away from the back of the fender while it's tucked up)
1" body lift (just helps get the body up and out of the way some, without adding spring arch to achieve it, plus it adds working room under the truck/ between the frame and drivetrain)

With my trimming, I can stuff my 38s. Or whatever they measure in real life.
