Did you ever decide on the chrome or silver 20's? Be sure to post pics when you get it done, I'm waiting on you to decide what I'm going to do.

I had the dealer install mine. Watching them was pretty funny...I think it took two men and a small boy. At one point I thought they would yank the truck off the lift. The dealership charged me $220 for the install and that included the front end alignment to set the camber again. It made noise turning before and after. The ride is about the same and no, I do not have pics as I am on here during my lunch break. I will get some on tomorrow if I get on here at home.

So let me ask before I go home and install this bad boy myself. I got mine off ebay, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...101&rd=1,1or number 320106509101 (if link doesnt work). Now should I use those bolts that come with the kit? What exactly changed between the old kit and the new one? Thanks.

Not positive what changed. But these are the instructions currently on trailmaster's site, which are the new ones far as I know. http://www.trailmastersuspension.com...ions/DL223.pdf

Don't buy it. I made that mistake and had to have it taken off because it caused the front axles to bind up. its not for a 4x4 even though the company said it will work. Its the Truxxx kit.

I put this kit on myself. Good set of front end seperaters,impact,and spring compressors needed. I did it w/out removing the strutfrom the lower a arm. I do not recommend doing it that way, I had to pry the thing back into the top mount after the spacer and longer bolts were on it. silly. It worked, though. I'm kinda mad that I didn't make the damn kit myself. I ended up putting onxtra spacers that looked identical to the kit spacers, only thinner 5/16". It only gave me about 2.5" max. I was expecting closer to3. Sorry, worthless w/ no pix.
