Well just placed my order from ebay....im so excited and can't wait for them to come. Who can beat free shipping thanks auto spring

They will be going on my 07 XLT 4WD Super Cab

And yea i will be posing the pics lol

 

Congrats!

I have decided to order the AS 2" front myself - was going to lower but just can't make myself try it LOL.

 

Here are some things that I encountered during install. First and foremost, the kit made the truck look awesome, leveled it right out like it should be. I also noticed that the 2.5" kit didn't measure that, but it did lift the front 2.5". I had a problem right off the bat. I started on the passenger side. After removing the tire, I went for the sway bay nut. What a pain in the rear! It took me every bit of 45 minutes to finally get it off with much frustration, vise grips, and a wrench! After I got the nut off, the rest went very smoothly...until I had to put the nut back on. More of the same....much frustration, vise grips, and a wrench! I did figure out that if I had just put a small socket on the bottom of the bolt the nut is on, I could have had it off in no time! I was concerned that I had damaged the boot, but the dealership said it should be ok (took it there for the front end alignment). With the lessons learned on the passenger side, the driver side only took about 20 minutes! I highly recommend the use of a small socket (either 7mm or 8mm) on the sway bar bolt to keep it from spinning while you turn the nut. All in all, I couldn't be happier and the kit is great as you aren't changing the factory ride like you would with torquing the torsion bars.

 

thanks for the tip Jmask that will save me a lot of frustration with the sway bar nut!!

Do you have any pics of your truck you could put up??

 

well they are shipping out today

 

make sure you measure the kit before you install it!!

i ordered a 2" after having a 2.5" kit on for a week and after taking one side off i put the them together and they were the same

so apparently a 2.5" kit got into a 2" box, so double check before

 

i had read your post man what a bummer i will be sure to measure it when i get it. I also remember reading somewhere that it is not actually 2". Is this right or am i going crazy lol??

 

I have a tip for the sway bar...

Skip it.

 

Another tip:

Use a pry bar to pry down on the upper control arm to stab it into the knuckle. Also, it is easier to get the strut assembly bolted back together if you put the top in first. I found that out the hard way.

 

the 2" will be 1 5/8 and the 2.5" will be 1 3/4


as for the sway bar dont skip it, all you need is a wrench and 15mm socket which you should already have

take off the top nut on the sway bar while holding the wrench on the sway bar which will start to rotate as you take it off, MUCH easier than taking it off from the lower side

 

They came in today





Will try and get them one this weekend

Thanks again for all the tips guys you rock

 

I ordered mine on 12/12/08 - hopefully it will get here by the weekend!
