    When I installed my crappy DropZone kit, the rear took months to settle. The front only took a couple days to reach it's final stance. The SRT suspension isn't a real aggressive drop, keep in mind. Just take out the Mag and whip it around a lil bit. See if it settles any faster.
    Just lower it.

    The SRT springs are not much of a drop. The rear must have the springs indexed correctly in the isolators and final tightening of the pivot points must be made with the full weight of the vehicle on the suspension. I assume that the KYBs are not self leveling, so they aren't the issue.

    The SRT springs and KYB shocks should have you riding better for sure. Better handling & better control. Should be better all around.
