Just got mine today also and haven't had any problems so far. Should I be concerned about having Progressive springs on my bike?

I got mine today,I went out and checked it just like they said.I have NO play in mine at all.This is at 1700 miles.I like to do my own work,I wonder if the dealer would just give me the parts because I don't trust the monkeys at their place.

Yeah, always worried they are in more of a hurry to "get it out the door" than redo it, align it properly etc

I just got mine for the Twin Peaks. I don't seem to have any play but will let the dealer do the work. I wonder if they are going to do an alignment afterward. I hope they don't say that "we just cover the part, if you want/need the alignment it will cost..." I hope to be able to take my Grizzly and have the winch installed on the same day. One trip two fixes would be nice.
