Here is a few pictures of the truck after I finished this morning. First one is the new u-bolts. I think the length is perfect after I tightened them. The second is a picture of the block installed on the drivers side.
The last picture is the truck after I got it done. I think the driveway is causing the the rear height to be different on each side. I will check it out after I go to work later. Sitting in a level parking lot might change it.

I will warn you now, because i already did that headache. The price for 4 at 167.95 is wrong. That is a fixed price for (4) shocks. NOT (2) shocks and (2) struts. You will be paying more because of the struts. Trust me i called when i looked for mine.

Yeah, I paid $293 for shocks/struts from streetsideauto. You should expect to pay about that.

Looking at your struts, is the only thing between the spacer and the spring that peice of rubber?
