I've had it on my '08 colorado for 60 000 kms. Went the h.d. springs and adjustable load assist spring as well. Suits my purposes o.k. - Flex - haha .
Any particular q's?

well i have heard that there is a lot of creeking out of the front end.. and they really dont carry the a load real well.. so just trying to find out abit more b4 i buy it. i would be having around 400-500kg in the back nearly all the time. and really dont want it sagging in the ass..

You'll be going the same setup as mine to carry that constant load - mine would be about 300 odd constant then more on top as required. The adjustable leaf is well worth it.
I don't see how the front end can creak unless you've gone nuts on the torsion bars? Keep the same torsion bars and just add shocks.

Is yours cab/chassis or tub?

Mine's the tub so your's will cope better with the weight with the axle further back.
