Well it took us about 5 hours. But that included drinking several beers, and going to the store for some brake fluid. I was expecting a smidge more height than I got, but maybe I was being unrealistic. I have some pics but I'm going to have to send them to Corey because I can't get them to a size the forum will allow with out them looking like an avatar or something. I didn't need the spring compressor like I thought I would. Instead one of my friends pulled while I stood on the drum and my other friend held me up . Made for a rather insteresting picture. Anyway, Corey if you don't mind I shoot you a couple of pics to post in here.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Are you going to have to crank up the T bars to level it out?

Also if your pics are to big, see this post:

Alan has a link for free software that will resize your pics for ya.
Looking forward to seeing the results.

 

Curious to see the pics I am doing this mod shortly. JSB got any hints or tricks??

 

This is before the install...



This is after the install...Unfortunately I was so excited about installing them I forgot to measure to see how much it lifted it.




UKmyers,
Sure I'll tell you exactly what we did later on today probably. I've go a few things to do today first. It was relatively easy. I would recommend doing it yourself.

I'll post some more pics later.

See ya,
Jeremy

 

lookin' good!!!

 

Looking good Jeremy.
You might have to bring the front up a tad now.

Hey, you don't have the 31" tires on there do you?
Kind of hard to tell from the pics.

If not, the 31's will fill up the wheel wells nicely.
It looks like you got about 2" of lift.

 

Yeah, I think I got about 2" too. And those are 31" tires.
They're some cheap tires the guy put on right before he sold it. I'm thinking 32" M/T's. Oh and I'm planning on cranking the torsion bars a smidge. I like the look of the back be a little higher, but not that much. Thanks, for that link for bleeding the brakes. Some of it came in handy.

 

Wow, those are 31's then.
You look like you got more lift than I did back there, unless it's the slope of your driveway efecting the picture.

Here's what I did? For those who asked. I lifted the truck and took off the wheels. I put the jack stands under the hitch like everyone has recommended. Then put the floor jack under the diff. I then took the shocks off. Loosened the brake lines as recommended. Next we let the diff. down. At this point we thought we needed more drop from the diff. So we unbolted the left side of the sway. Next the right side but I couldn't budge it. So I decided to stand on the brake drums. The picture of that could bring up some questions, but I'm confident with my manhood. As I stood on the brake drum, my friend pulled on the spring while my other friend made sure I didn't fall. I had to bounce the drum so the spring would come out. We did this on both sides, and did the same to put the new springs in. Once they were in, we attached the new brake line. This wasn't clearly defined in the instructions if you ask me. I took a pic to show you what it looks like. After the brake lines were put back together we put the new shocks on. Finally we flushed the brakes and put the tires back on. All done. Here are some pics of the process.

Wheels off, brake lines loosened, and shocks removed.


The team trying to remove the springs (I know how it looks)


Putting new springs in.


New spring in!!!


New shocks in, and adjustment plate for brakes.


New brake line, and anothe adjustment plate for the speed sensor thing...don't get me lieing.


Brake fluid everywhere, and finished!



I think that's it. If anyone needs help let me know and I'll be glad to answer your questions the best I can.
