GSK help

I just installed a set of 3K GSK's from Piers, everything set back to stock specs. When I fired the truck up it would not idle, but would easily rev to 3000+ rpm's, so I just bumped up the idle back to normal. On my test drive the truck was really touchy above 1500 rpm and would want to take off with little throttle movement, and I also noticed a slight vibration at about 65 mph. I called Piers again and he said to go down one click and see what happens, so I did. Now the truck runs really good, pulls REAL hard at all rpm's, but the vibration at around 65mph is worse? Any ideas on what the vibration could be from? Also, my stud protrusion was about half what stock is supposed to be, it was roughly .025". I'm guessing that's why it wouldn't idle after the new springs, but why would it idle there with the old springs? Any idea's guys?

Thanks,
Bill
