Leveling Kit
 

how hard is it to do? wat do you have to do to put it on? you dont have to put on bigger shocks do you?

I've seen them done they are pretty easy but you do need longer shocks.

yes you need longer shocks. They are cake if you have acoil compressor

If you're going to use a spring compressor, make sure you use a strut spring compressor, and use two of them. You'll have a lot less chance of the spring popping loose and taking the end of one of your fingers off or smashing your hand. I've seen more than one set of coil spring compressors come apart.
If you have tall enough jack stands, you can support the front axle with a floor jack, unhook everything and then lower the jack enough to give the springs enough room to come out without being under load. Even if you don't have enough room to do it that way, it will still take a lot of tension off of the springs, and make for less work with the compressor.
One other hint. Go buy a couple of cans of PB Blaster or other penetrating spray, and start spraying your fasteners every day for a week or so before you start. That will make things come apart a LOT easier.

wat shocks should i get a want it to ride smoother. do i need softer or wat?

Thats the way I've always seen it done, definitely don't wanna get near a spring compressor if you don't have to. :booo:

IVE DONE 3 SETS NOW MINE AND TWO BUDDIES WE GOT HELL BENT STEEL KITS 60 BUCKS SHIPPED CANT BEAT EM FOR THE PRICE AND LIKE THE ABOVE SAID GET THE SPRING COMPESSOR KIT AND I JUST WENT WITH MONROE HEAVY DUTY SHOCKS WORKED PERFECT GOOD LUCK IF YOU NEED ANYTHING LET ME KNOW:U:

Bilstein shocks, do all 4 and BTW Luke is having a sale on them :w2:
X2 on the PB Blaster or liquid wrench
X2 on letting the axle droop all the way with the track bar disconnected, you should only need the compressor to get the springs back in and you only have to get and inch or two outa it to get it back in.

I'll have to disagree on one point here. Using the stock height shock is optional here. They are rated for 0-2 inches of lift and the next ones are rated for 2-4 inches of lift so your on that border line. I ran the stock height bilsteins with mine and worked just fine even off road and under heavy load. Mind the off road was for work and not playin Dukes A Hazard.

But I would very much agree with the fact that you have to have 2 sets of strut compressors. You can rent these from most auto parts places. Even with 2 sets you gonna see them flex like they're gonna snap by the time you have that spring down far enough.. These springs are tough.

I would also recommend a poly bushing on the springs. Makes the ride much smoother. They are and Energy Suspension Coil Spring Isolator # 9.6112G. They slip over the top and bottom of the coil spring. You will need 2 sets.

Some companies sell the leveling kit's with the shocks. Look around on ebay you can find some good deals. :U:
