I ordered mine to, installing it second week of January
Finally got my Maxtrac kit on and I'm super happy with the way it looks! I only have about 25 miles on it since the install but I'd say the ride is very comparable to the GF 2/3 on my 4th gen. It did bottom out once on the way home with the bump stop trimmed as the instructions show. I have helper bags but I haven't competed running the lines so no air in them yet. My plan is to cut off the bump stop cups and add a stubby 1" screw in style. I hope to have enough clearance for daily driving and the helpers will be used when I haul my boat or load the bed.
Install was fairly straightforward but I have some experience with lowering 4th gens, so that helped. The pictures in the instructions could be a little larger, especially for the rear upper shock bushing orientation. I chose to not follow the directions on the front and left the lower control arms where they were and removedthe uppers instead. I knew I wasn't going to be able to get it aligned until this weekend so I figured not getting the camber/caster all out of whack from side to side was my best bet. Truck drove straight, even with the tires toed out a little.
Front strut is set on 5th groove down from the top (2.5"), rear was installed as it comes. Actual drop was 2- 5/8" in the front and rear was 3.75". Front is 1/2" lower than the rear, for what I consider a perfect daily driver rake.
I'll add some updates after I get the bump stops cut off and some more miles on it. Getting snow today so won't be getting anything done for the next couple days. Lowered 4x4 FTW!

Hi looks great, I've got mine on also it looks great with 2"spacers and Rough Country Fender flares drove 1000 miles and I must say it does bottom out so I am going to order the helper bags, could you guys tell me which bags I need?Finally got my Maxtrac kit on and I'm super happy with the way it looks!
