    I'll post some pics and let you guys know how the ride goes! Luckily I'm driving from BR to Memphis the day after I get them on, so I'll have a good detailed experience to go on!

    Had to save up myself. I had gotten the spacer lift about 6 months ago and realized that was a bad move so opted to go ahead and just get the fronts for now. Rear shocks, shackles and UCA's will come later on this summer.

    Yep....luckily my wife believed me when I told her I "needed" these because "stock suspension is not designed to handle rough roads and potholes" even got a compilation of snapped suspension pics and articles to show her. Came damn near to being a PowerPoint presentation with me decked out holding a laser pointer and yelling "next slide please!"

    Yep I kid you not.

    I did get my BA in marketing and have a history of talking (bribing technically but let's not get caught up in semantics) high school teachers into upping my report card grades.......that may have helped......

    Simple....hacksaw and sledgehammer. Snap one (or two) of your present shocks and tell her you need some more but shocks aren't cheap.

    For some reason the driverside droops lower than the passenger side on a lot of our trucks. So you can fix that with shims or adjust the coilovers.

    I like how you think! I may have to do that, just maybe.

    But then she'd come back and say "Your truck is brand new, what the hell!". I can hear it now.

    Its easy to do, just lift the truck off the ground letting the wheel drop and use the spanner wrench to adjust. Don't need to remove to do this.

    Yeah, I know. It's just that I forgot to do it before the alignment... hope it doesn't screw it up.

    my wife has already given up on me. she argued with me about every single thing i ever did to my truck.
    but when we go off road and she drives it, she finally understood what i was doing. even though everything i ever bought i told her i only paid 1/4th of the actual cost. lol

    Gas tank is on the drivers side. Makes the truck lean a little on the drivers side. We are talking only about a 1/4 - 1/2". Very noticeable on some older Toyota pickups with worn out suspensions though.

    Yeah, mines off by almost a 1/2". I was thinking 1/4" up on one side and 1/4" down on the other.

    LOL. I just learned that trick but I'm only down to 1/2 of actual cost. And remove shipping and taxes ofcourse.
