Thumbs up Installing 2" AutoSpring Today!

I am headed out to the garage right now to start installing my leveling kit - I can't stand the rake anymore!!

I've got two threads printed out from this site, so hopefully I'll be covered. Wish me luck guys!

You will be okay. First side will take much longer than the second. The hardest part is getting that ball joint to separate from the knuckle. Just try to refrain from prying at the joint and ripping the ball joint.

Done! The first side, as predicted, took much longer than the second side. The hardest part to me was getting the 30mm nut loose, but an air gun took care of it in no time. Lining the bolt back up to go through the strut was a chore, as well.

All in all, the truck looks great! I need some 33" tires now. I'm gonna shine 'er up and post some pics tomorrow.

Thanks for all the help folks!
