Leveling kit going on tomorrow
How hard was this to do? Did you follow something or just jump in there? Did you change struts before? I have my bilsteins but nobody wants to install them for me. I have all the tools to do it, just never did struts before.
It is really straight forward to do. Take wheel off, unbolt to of strut (3 bolts), undo bottom bolt of strut (1 big bolt), undo lower tie rod. Remove whole assembly, compress spring, remove upper shock bolt, remove top of strut assembly, install new shock, and install. The hardest part is getting the new shock in there. It helps to have and extra set of hands. It took me and my brother 1hr per side. He did his truck the night before so he new what to do so no instructions for me. I would say give it 2hrs per side if this is your first time. It is not bad at all, the spring compressor was what i was worried about. Just use an impact gun on it and take it slow and do both side evenly. Shouldn't be a problem.
Update, had the leveling kit and tires on for a while. The ride is slightly rougher than stock, nothing bad. The tires are nice, little hum going down the road, can drowned out with the radio very easily. The tires work good in the rain, can't wait to test them out in the snow. All in all I am very happy with the setup and how it rides and handles.
