Default LEVELING KIT HELP

I'm gonna be putting a 2" front leveling kit on my 06 2500 mega cab. Any tips/tricks for installation?

Are you doing new springs or just spacers?

Disconnect the track bar for some extra droop from the front axle.

jack up the truck and put jack stands under the frame so the front suspension hangs, remove both tires and disconnect the track bar, do the drivers side first as its the easiest then the passenger side, conect the track bar back up..................not bad at all bro

If u got a bottle jack and 4x6 u can use it to create some space between body and axle[for an easier spring removal]...oh and if anyone ever needs to compress springs without renting/buying spring compressors, i always used two u bolts on each spring
