You are gonna be so happy with the spacer and the Ranchos together. I did both at the same time too. You got an awesome deal on the struts, now get 'em on!

From what I understand, you can do it yourself if you have the time and patience to do it, along with the skill/tools to get past any obsticals that may come your way with seized bolts and stuff.
The TM kit goes inside the actual strut, where it used to go just on top, but either way it is doable. It is recommended that you get a front end alignment when you are finished, but some guys didnt have to.
I wanted to get new struts, so this was the perfect time to have the kit installed. The instructions can be found here if its something that youre looking at doing: http://www.trailmastersuspension.com...KIT&Active=Yes

The only thing I did to the rear was put in the Rancho shocks. No blocks, leafs, or anything else.
