Mini Spring pack installed
Hey Fellas,
Finally installed the Donhue Racing mini spring packs on my truck. This is how these trucks should look (IMO). The instructions were fantastic and it took me about 3 hours to install. And I think the truck actually rides nicer. I used to add a leaf in the front on my previous trucks, of course they road like tanks. This system is the way to go, its much smoother and just makes sense. Next weekend I'm installing 4" blocks on the rear. I would post some pics but I can't figure out how.

Now I have installed the rear lift
Check out my gallery. I have installed the 4" blocks to the rear, so the truck sits level (almost) with the trailer attached. I think this is how these trucks should sit from the factory. My only complaint is I keep tripping on the nerf bar getting in and out of the truck. This is only a 2" difference! Check it out.

That sits really nice. I want to do the same to my truck. What 4" blocks did you use on the rear?
I noticed in your sig that you have the egr unplugged, did you get a cel from that? What changes have you noticed with it unplugged? Just curious, other than color (and your new cool lift), my truck is same as yours with same miles and I wanted to unplugged mine just haven't tried it yet.

I ordered the parts from KLM, they sent me Donahoe Racing 4" blocks and U bolts. I don't know if that was a good decision or not. They are not tapered blocks.
With the 04' you don't get a cel (unless its a CA truck). I have noticed no difference @ all. But I do want to install the blocking plate soon to by pass the whole system.
