Front is a ton better.  Doing the rear now.

Not sure how much is from going from 19.5's to 17's or the suspension but much better.

It seems that the superduty springs are more arched than the OBS springs. 

I have 2 different sets of lift blocks so we will have to play around with them to get it to set right.
