I have a 1-3 (ground force) lowering coming in monday for my 03 L. I am being sodomised by the local shops (500 plus) Can this kit be installed in the drive way. coils, shackles, shocks and hangers. Does it require cutting or punching out the oem hanger bolts. Please help a fellow L from getting in the rear. Detailed info please. PS I been reading the search info for 1/2 hour. Have not seen answers I seek.

 

Yes it can be done in the driveway, if you have access to a cutting torch or an air chisel. the rivets on the hangers will have to be cut out. I was a suspension mech. by trade and have done sevrall trucks at my house recently.

 

do I need a spring compressor to remove/add the springs/coils. Is the the correct chisel to use (TAPERED PUNCH .401SHANK AIR CHISEL) Do you have any pics of the job and a how to ??????

 

Drop Shackles HOW-TO:

Sorry, do not have one for the coils and hangers. Good luck

 

springs are a peice of cake. no compressor needed. use SVTKY's how-to posted up from a while back. i've done like 4 sets in my drive so far

shackles are easy too

hangers....i say forget the hangers and just return them. not worth the hassle of installing them. for the price you'd pay for install you could have gotten the hotchkis TVS in place of the kit you got with the shackles and get a better handling ride in the end and done it yourself. leafs are an easy swap otu as well

Thanks guys, what does the Roush Kit lower the truck to, what is the cost, and why do I get it. I may go that route printing that how to say we speak.
