Didn't it come with install instructions? You need to get a spring compressor. I believe the rc kit is rubber pucks that sit on top of the spring. Remove the strut assembly and compress the spring, add the puck, and reverse. The back blocks should go on pretty fast. Relieve spring tension on the rear, remove the u bolts, add the block under the leaf pack, install new longer u bolts.

As said, you basically take everything apart and put them on, put it all back together and then take it in for an alignment.

It usually goes something like in this order, wheels, brakes, tie rods, sway bar links, shocks, wheel hubs, upper and lower control arms and then put the spacers in and put it all back together.

Well we got it all put together went together fairly easy and we didnt run in to any major problems. Instructions could have been a little better and it said a 1-3 hour install and it took us about 6 hours to get it completely finished. Truck looks great I think. Only problem Im having now is when im rolling there is a ticking noise and it sounds like its coming from the back drivers side brakes. Any ideas what it could be? I tried looking at it but it was to dark and I could hardly see anything? It makes the noise pretty much the whole time when Im driving.
