I took my front ends off as units. If you take off the bumper you can slide it off as a unit by yourself.

RNelson, yes the down and forward springs center the axle in the wheel well and lower 2-3". I don't know the exact drop yet on my truck because I havent had time to get the wheels on and take the truck off jack stands. Hopefully next weekend.

Got the wheels and tires on today. Its a relief to finally have the truck down from jackstands. Now time to bleed the brakes, adjust the shoes and go for a ride. I couldnt take very good pictures because theres not enough room in my garage. I'll take more for my gallery once I get it out into the driveway. The gap between the top of the tire tread and the bottom of the outer fender is about 1.5". I'm really happy with the ride height although its hard to tell very much from the pictures.

Congrats! I'm going with the same set up, down and forward springs, as you did. Please post pics once you get it out onto the driveway so we can see the whole enchilada.

Thanks elektrafried, I'm also happy with the look. RNelson: I'll definately post pictures and update my gallery once I get it out of the garage. I'm pretty anxious to take it for a drive but I've been very busy lately.
