No body lift for me. IMO, that is the biggest rip off on the market for these trucks...$300 for a set of rubber pucks? And you can get a body lift kit for a full size truck that is 1/2 to 1/3 the price....No thanks.

I still need to find someone with a wall mount strut compressor that can help me install mine. I have some of the aluminum ones that used to mount on top of the strut assembly, but the instructions were updated to put inside of it.

There was actually a fear of the 2" ones causing too much of an angle on the CV's so I used a formula to determine how much material needed to be taken off and sent them off to a friend to take off a fraction of an inch (can't remember exactly). If my math was right I should be between 1.75 and 1.875.

Anyone in the Tampa-Sarasota area want to help me install some spacers?!?! :-D

Cuban, I recommend that you take the struts off yourself and just go to a nearby shop to get the spacers installed, and then take them home and reinstall them. It should only be $50 to compress the struts quick and add the spacers.
