BTW Luke, did you install yourself? If not mind sharing what a garage charged? Nuts and bolts hate me so I wouldn't attempt this myself.

Funny. I did It myself. Not that difficult. Compressing the springs Is the hardest part. I would buy a escape rear lower spring insulator. Just one side for the opposite wound spring. I just used mine and It worked.

I think it looks good. What was the total drop inches F/R? I'm planning on doing something similar whenever mine comes in. Ive got a pile of mods in boxes waiting but haven't decided on a lowering solution yet. I think I have plenty of time to figure it out.

Ditto. I got a lot of boxes of stuff for mine as well. Still deciding on the springs. I want to drop it about 1.5" - 2.0" to ditch that unsightly wheel opening gap.

Did my springs this weekend, what are you guys doing about spring retention? At 3/4 suspension travel the rear springs fall out. I get the trucks on the ground for the most part, but are you worrying about the springs falling out every time you put it on a lift?

I made a limiting cable for the time being, but i'm going to try to find shorter shocks...
