The Picture may not give it justice but its much nicer. The small stock 29s look like crap but larger ones are soon to come...

since it was just a 3 inch drop spindle, installation wasnt bad at all. Take wheels off, caliper pads etc, then rotor dust shield etc, then spindle. The ball joints needed to be hit a few times to come loose but everythin else was flawless. kit fit perfectly but it messed my alignment up horrible. the toe end was far from ok to drive with so it took another hour with chalk marks and a tape measure and rollin in forward and backward to get it in a driveable range. Took it to a pal tues and had him fix my alignement job which was safe but not exact. the ride with the new shocks feels a little stiffer but its not bad. Very pleaseeed will look great with some 33 inch tires and hopefully new rims if i can afford it.

This is wat i have left from the kit if anyone is interested in purchasing for cheap:
2Rear Rough Country Nitrogen charged shocks (i already had pro comps in the back)
Set of 4 Rough country Hydrolic shocks brand new (came with kit even tho i upgraded to nitrogen)

i dont have anythin to do with them

haha awesome. Well the fact that it seemed like a relatively easy process excites me. But I too will be ditching the 4 shocks that come with it as my new Rancho RS9000xl's easily beat them. I have 33" Bridgestone A/T Dueler Revo's on my truck and i must say that if you like being both on and off road with a smooth ride, you have to buy yourself a set of them. Simply a fabulous tire

None at all. The tires clear it just fine. I think its just 35"s that need the additional lift.
