I replaced the shocks on mine when i leveled it. Just got stock to a 2in lift ones. Dont need anything crazy. O-2", 1"-3", thats the size to get. Put the manifold on yet?

I like the coils. Now this is for everyone who hasnt done this yet, is there a coil compresser big enough to fit these or stock coils? When I leveled mine I used the one you could get from Auto zone ( fit one side of the coil), so on the other side i used a rachet strap. Who makes one big enough for the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks?

All i did when i did it was loosen the track bar and let the front axle swing down as far as it let it. I had already unbolted everything and didnt think of loosening the track bar til i had already taken the coil out. 
. Only way to learn is to do it.

HAHA would you believe i haven't yet, but I'm slowly working on gettin it done
Honestly, why don't any auto parts stores carry the right tools for our pickups, it's like they have no idea that there's a whole other world other than the wimpy half ton p/u out there. Although I did read somewhere someone did offer a coil compressor specifically for 3/4 an 1 ton p/u. I'll look into though
