Yeah those are the ones superdak linked before, can't help you on the install though.

You should definitely do it though, will look really good on your truck.

depending on the road grime, you may need to purchase new bolts first, i did mine early in the trucks years, so the bolts were easy to remove. you are gonna need a 55mm hex socket for the top bolt, and make sure you put the correct shakle on the correct side, they should be stamped if not put both shakles side by side. if they bow away from each other they are correct. the one on the right is for the passanger side and vise versa. also mine had grease fitting. mine were from www.canuckmotorsports.com

I think I'm in for this project too. Is it as easy as it seems? Superdak, what are your opinions on ride quality, longevity, and need for alignment? Thx

I will be going this route too and removing my TM kit when I get new shocks. Just waiting on money and my tires to wear down some

I would probably only drop an inch, but if you dropped two, are there any shock issues?
