From what I understand the only tools you need other than some of the norms is a spring compressor.

Which you should be able to borrow from an advanced auto parts or an autozone for free. (They make you pay a deposit and give it back when you bring the tool back)

If you cannot fab up blocks for the rear, remember that autozone has a block and longer u-bolt kit for $25, that come in 1", 2", 3" and 4". I have the 2 inch on my truck and its working great and fit like a glove.

I checked the local N-A-P-A today, since I need longer U bolts any way. I'm just gonna get the2" block kit($27). anybody know if I have to adjust my driveline angle on the rear end w/ those little shims? Does 2"make that much of a difference? BTW, the instructions on the TM site say the kit requires a spring compressor, and a tie rod puller. I think if one is careful, one cuold getaroundusing the tie rod puller.

Well getting mine install at a friend shop, he told me that I was better off using his shop and him than doing it myself and butching the job... I agreed, not my line of work and a spring in the face hurt.[sm=nothatway.gif]

BTW, are these mods going to void the warranty on my CVs or other part$? If I were DC I would say yes. I've just decided Ill take it off if need be.

Should not void the warranty unless Dodge proves that your mod's is the cause of the warranty problem... Something happen's, take it off.
