When I did mine, I set the frame on stands, pulled the tires off and let the axle hang and I still had to use a spring compressor to get the new springs in.

-edit-

forgot to mention that I also had to disconnect the swaybar from the frame too

I got it all finished up. I just went to the parts store and rented a spring compressor. I wonder why they dont tell you in the instructions that you need one. There was no way i could have got it in there without it. I put the frame rails and jack stands and let the front end hang down all the way. Plus i was prying on it. Its done though. I love the way it looks. It changes the whole look of the truck. Now i just got to get my air bags for the rear.

I know for myself...I had Les Schwabbys do it...When you have a small one car garage, and you buy yoru rig in the P. North West Winter...Crawling in the snow isnt something I go for.

But your right, changes the look of the rig, and allows you to fit 35's under it without rub!!

Looks Good!!

Ole Yeller is actually the "owner" and he lets me drive it around. Actually he's there as a "scale model" and is very photogenic. Edge Juice w/Attitude and Muffler delete coming this weekend! I love this truck!

Ok, here is my problem. I had a 2" leveling kit put on my 07 1500 4x4 at les schwab. Ever since I have experienced a thumping noise and vibration only on the front drivers side, after going over a bump. I have taken it in several times and they are not sure what is wrong. I hear that the kits on half tons are not common, and that there is the whole "death wobble" issue. I am debating having it removed, but i love the look of it. I have also started to notice that my alignment is off. Any advice???

Tony, welcome to the Dodge Forum. You just posted a reply to a year-old thread in the Cummins Diesel section. All of us have a Ram 2500 or 3500, although a few may be familiar with the problem you're having with your half-ton. You may want to post your question as a new thread on the3rd Gen forum.
