    From what I remember, most companies send their coilovers out preloaded to about 2.5" of lift. Crank those puppies down (theoretically up) and you should be good.

    The 2.5" are adjustable from 0-3.5" of height so you should be able to adjust them to your desired height

    You need to buy one of those spanner wrenches to adjust them with. You don't need to jack up the truck to crank the coilovers down. You also might not need to get an alignment done if you're cranking it down about a quarter-inch on the thread.

    Step 1: Loosen the thread locking bolt on the top of the coilover ring with an Allen key but don't remove it.
    Step 2: With the spanner wrench, turn the ring counter-clockwise.
    Step 3: Tighten the locking bolt but just finger tight because you don't want to damage the thread.

    There's an exact number somewhere that I'm forgetting but it's something like: for every full revolution of the coilover ring, you adjust the height about 1/8".

    So, you're running 6.5" in the front and 1.5" in the rear right now?

    I got the Icon pack and it has 3 leaves that replaced the top 2. It also came with new u-bolts.
    The bottom leaf is an overload leaf and it remains.

    There's definitely a front and rear plus you need bolts. They should have been included
