Well I it this past weekend. Took a good two days and still have to get to a muffler shop to clear my dual exhaust properly but it looks great. I have a question though. Does anyone know what the best way to make fine ride height adjustments. The drivers front is 5/8 inch low. Any ideas how to best level it out would be welcome.

You can take a piece of heater hose and split it. Then take that piece and wrap it around the bottom coil on the spring. Be sure the hose is long enough to completely cover the first coil. Then reinstall the coil spring and the 5/8" difference should be eliminated.

Thanks for the idea, just talked to Sport truck direct, where I bought the kit. They suggested a coil spacer , think ill try that. I also mentioned I felt the spring rate was to soft , because it was letting the front dive to much even with there drop shocks in place. Thats when they told me the springs in the kit were 30% softer spring rate then stock. That explains that ! Im just going to cut the stock springs back slightly and use them instead.
