Did you have to remove the lower shock bolt on the rear to remove the tension from leafs? Trying to figure out what time I'm going to have that first beer!

 

Yeah I think I did. You'll want to put the truck on stands and then lower the axel with the jack just enough so you can swap out the shackles. **Watch the tension on the brake lines when you do lower the axel. I had to disconnect the brackets from the frame to give a little more slack. Oh, and the beer will start flowing once you get to the bushings lol.

 

This^^ I'm installing 2 shims and +3 shackles in a couple weeks. shims should give me 1" up front and +3 shackles will give about 1.75" in the back front what I hear...

 

Just a thought...if you rent the ball joint press you might consider also renting the 4X4 adapter kit for it as well.(my local O'reilly had it as well) Larger and deeper receiving tubes made it much easier for me.

 

This is a good idea. I had to tape a couple of the tubes together to make it deep enough to pop them out lol.

 

Getting some great input here! Thanks guys! I will post pics once I get it installed. Still waiting to hear back from coach...btw how much did the shackles and shims run?

 

$18 per shim and $250 for the +2's with poly bushings....if memory serves me correct.

 

no

 

Welcome from

 

That's a great price! It's going to cost me more in beer and tri tip to get a buddy to help!

PM'd coach builder still waiting to hear back to order.

 

I would just call him. He sent me an invoice right after talking with him and it was shipped the next day.

 

I called and got a hold of him yesterday...He suggests the +3 over the +2 for the 2016 because of the gas tank. I am torn. Have you seen any pics for comparison of +2 vs +3?

 

I haven't seen any comparisons on 16's+. From what I understand the +3s on a '16 = +2 on a '15. I know he has done a ton of Pro's so he might have some compare pics but I don't recall any 16's going with the +2s
