We cranked the front end as much as we could, leaving about half an inch gap in there..

Save for a couple of small hurdles, we were able to get those springs on pretty quickly and easily. And, it was pretty cool to see him drive off with a ton more clearance than when he arrived.

Looks good! Those springs will last forever with very little settling.

no kidding...
The arch was just about what I had when I first installed them on my truck. I didn't measure the height once they were in, but it has to be pretty close to what I had.

Thanks guys!

Like Mike said, everything went smoothly other then one of my bolts on my passenger side shackle was fused to the stock leaf springs and Mike used his Sawzall to remove the bolt :lol:

Good thing that was the only stall in the project because the freezing cold rain started to get me hypothermic haha Too bad there wasn?t a picture of us drenched to the bone and me with plastic bags on my feet because my shoes were full of water...

tarps rule.

I just need to get a couple that don't have holes in them. That and some sawzall blades that can go through grade 8 hardware without getting dull within 30 seconds.

Other than that, it was a good way to spend part of a Sunday.

The rear bumper is made by Skid Row. It is Mike's (Shmittey) old one.
