Did you do the install by yourself? I had one buddy help and we did the shocks and level in just a few hours..but good luck with the problems, alignment is critical also. Hopefully that will help your ride quality

90% of the install was by myself yea, it took me about an hour just to get the freakin calipers off which pissed me off but o well. Then that shock not wanting to come loose killed an hour and a half trying to get it off before I said eff it and went to the other side. The guy who was gonna help me with the coils had to leave for a while to do something with his kids so I went and got my saw and cut off the left front shock to get it outta there and then by the time he got back it was about 6:30 (already starting to get dark here). The time after that we spent swapping the driver side coil.

when things dont go the way they should (95% of the time) it really does seem to make a simply install like this the most problematic and frustrating thing in the world...but the end result is what makes it all worth it.

I know she's pretty dirty but as soon as it warms up I'm gonna give her a bath.

Heres a pic of what happens when you buy 50 dollar tires.

looks good shilo, really changes the look of your truck. the long bed doesnt look as noticeable with the level, it really helps even everything up!

What is the point of the last pic I did not understand the 50 tire comment???

Well that last pic is technically my mom's truck and she decided to put 50 dollar tires on it and thus we get stuck in our little half drive/yard parking space all the time. I find it hilarious
