Looks really good. I sometimes wonder if I should have done the spacers instead of cranking my torsion bars. But, if I do eventually end up lifting it, the spacers would have been a waste.

I have a set of polyurethane 3" spacers on my truck to level it out. I put them on 2 years ago and they now seem to be crushed. I would recommend not getting the polyurethane, unless you don't mind replacing them every couple of years. Also tocompress the coils springs I rented a set of compressors form a local auto parts store.

Sweeet. So far all I've done to my truck is Volant CAI, Flowmaster 50, and readylift leveling kit, and the leveling kit has definitely been my favorite mod!

ya get those pics up. you dont need a coil compresor i dont think. you jus take the coil out as a whole still in it bracket so it doesn come undone. but ya iv heard polyurathanes crush and stuff. the readylift spacer is steel. why couldnt you use it for the 4x2? is there a big difference in body style or something? you would think it would fit

If you dont wanna rent a compressor, you can do it with another jack. Use another jack and a piece of wood to compress the spring a little. take off your spring hardware from the top of the fenderwell, and let down on the jack real slow. Do the same in reverse to get them in.

yo im pretty sure you dont need to re-compress the spring. at least not with the ready lift system. if you need if for somethin else your getting tell me to shut up ha but i dont think you need it. course i may be wrong. and does anybody kno y the 4x4 readylift kit wouldnt work on a 4x2? wats the big difference that it wouldnt work?
