Autospring instructions?

Does anyone have the instructions to install the Autospring 1.5" leveling/lift kit, I lost mine. I emailed the company but no response yet. Also for those of you with the kit, how is it performing.

I don't have the instructions handy, but can give you a quick run down of how I did it.

- Once the tires are off, disconnect the upper ball joint, sway bar mount, and we disconnected the tie rod, and unbolt the upper and lower parts of the coil. The coil comes right out at this point.
- Install the spacer onto the top of the coil using the supplied hardware, then comes the tricky part.
- Pry down on the lower control arm in order to get the coil back into the mounts. Then you need to let the truck down on a jackstand in order to get the lower control arm up to connect the upper ball joint back up. You need to push down on the upper control arm to get it to connect back to the axle housings.
- Reinstall everything in reverse order, and torque to specs (don't remember then off the top of my head). And you are all set!
- To be safe, GET THE ALIGNMENT!

And by the way, the truck rides awesome with the leveling kit in it, just as good as stock , and looks awesome, check out my gallery for pics!
