even if you have it professionally installed, go ahead and stick your head under there and make sure everything is in order. Had it installed today, drove off and felt some weird bumping. Didnt think much of is at first after reading on here that some guys have experienced something like that after having the coil spacers installed. Made it back to the house, but just before i got there, felt some (to me it felt like) grinding and knew something was wrong. well in the rush to get the job complete they forgot to put the bolts all the way in that holds the calipers to the damn truck, and only 1 bolt was barely holding it in. The ABS line was also wrapped on the outside of the spindle and how it didnt end up getting ripped out I have no freaking clue. Thankfully nothing got damaged and I got the situation taken care of, but just a reminder to check over if you have something done. Today could have ended really badly had I not.

On a better note, now that eveything is in order and aligned, the truck feels smoother then before and rides great. Ill try to throw a before and after pic when I get the chance.

 

That's why I do my own damn work and the only mod I didn't do (gears) I stood there and watched. I won't use a shop that won't let you in there to watch "for insurance reasons"...

 

did you end up w the 1.5" or 2"? Thats crazy, and kind of scary

 

got the 2in and procomp es9000s. Well on the good side, after I figured out what went wrong I got on the phone and talked to the head honcho. He asked if I would be able to bring it back. Had to get another bolt for the caliper (thanks to my neighbor) put it togeather and drive back. When I got back up there the guy in charge pulled tires and everything and pretty much went back over everything and this time let me stay out there and inspect it with him, torced everything down and then refunded me the full price.

 

Sweet!!

 

cool man...you gotten any of the UCA and spring bucket contact? Thats crazy that the ride is better, maybe I need new shocks

 

I've always liked the Pro Comp shocks. Pro Comp doesn't make a thing, just has stuff made for them and stamps their name on it, so a Pro Comp product can be a real hit or miss. Personally, I think some of the worst tires are their original A/T and M/T tires (although I understand the new Xtreme series are much better).

Last I knew, Tenneco had the shock contract and Tenneco is the parent company of both Monroe and Rancho. I have the ES3000s on my Grand Cherokee and am perfectly happy (especially at $28 a shock after a "buy 3 get 1 free" deal).

 

Im in for the before and after pics.

 

I'm sure not only replacing the shocks helped but the alignment improved it also. I freaking love the way it sits now, granted its only 2 in different but I've noticed it while driving and when getting into the truck. Yeah I thought it was good that the guy was concerned enough with the work his shop did to both fix it himself and refund my money. I understand $hit happens, but NOT when it comes to brakes.


Nope, haven't had any contact however there is alot less space between the arm and the rubber stopper then before but even going over speed bumps I haven't felt it hit, which I was anticipating after reading from you guys, but I do take the bumps slow and not 40 mph like I'm sure some do Yeah, I wanted to get the pic on here today before work but I had to leave an hour early to go pick some stuff up so I didnt get to. Tonight, if I can get a decent pic or tomarrow for sure.

 

the new pic is at night since i just got home from work, but you can tell the difference.

before

after

before there was a 3 and 1/4 inch rake, after the level there is only 3/4 of an inch difference now. Not sure how that worked out, but the tape measure dont lie.
