First I am jealous. I have been trying to decide whether or not to do this to my truck so you beat me to the punch. Please, please, please post some picture's when you are done. Also make sure you rent a spring compressor and something to take apart the ball joints. I used a pickle fork but I damaged one of the boot's. I saw a vidoe that showed a guy hitting the metal around the ball joint and it popped off. I put a leveling kit on my truck and have had the suspesion apart once before. I think if I put the drop kit on I will have someone else do it. Not that it was all that hard I just do not have a lot of time. Good luck and happy tinkering!!!

you have to wait for the right coupon, what i did was call the order in and ask them to honor a coupon that was not for that product and they did it in a heartbeat. just call in and tell them you want them to honor the TRULOVE coupon for that kit and they will
