Very comfortable ride and riding level for now.

What springs did you pair them with? OEM or aftermarket/lifted?

I'd imagine the reports of 'hard valving' are more likely due to them usually being paired with heavy rate lifted springs?

I've got a set of 5100s on their way and will use my existing king springs, which are already pretty stiff so not sure how the ride quality will turn out....

Not so much what did I do, but what did I invest in (at least that's what I tell myself), I picked up a spare QD2 rear diff, must be a newer one as it has a dampener on the diff which I'd not seen before, still 3.73 gears and QD2 but slightly different packaging.

I kept the OEM springs and she rides really nice, I will be adding the superlift, so the ride quality in the front wont change, the rear i will be running the bilstien 5160.

I changed the rear brakes and noticed this module attached to the sway bar, anyone know what it’s purpose.

My WH doesn't have one to compare, but it should be a headlight auto-level sensor.

Looks like it's connected to the upper control arm?

Matches a rear headlight level sensor anyway;
