All ya need is spring compressor and reg tools! And yes the 5100s only level 06 threw 08 4*4 but I love them! The ride is firm but way better than the stock shocks.

Still gotta be careful with those spring compressors though. I had my own (not rented) and it was a heavy made compressor. I was compressing it with the impact gun and it was laid down on the ground with my foot holding it and the center bolts threads stripped and let the spring release its tension. Had I not had it on the ground with my foot holding it there is no telling what damage it would have done.

bet that made your *** pucker a bit weed lol..

I'm so glad I checked in on this thread.. I had been considering leveling the truck soon and I hated the idea of spacers. I'm going to look into these leveling shocks seems like the right way to go about things.

Too many stories of people getting the "Death Wobble" with spacers and I did not want to deal with that either. And it is a must to get a wheel alignment done after putting them in also, mine was way off, because your tires will wear fast without it. Someone said they were having problem finding them at Topguncustomz. I got the set of four from them on ebay for $331 plus $19 shipping, which was the best I could find, but took two weeks to get so if you are in a hurry don't go with them. But once again I am extreemly happy with them and I would replace all four. You will not be disappointed.
