Autospring kit install
Well, I don't know who can install one of these kits in 1.5 hrs, but I know I can't. The pass. side wasn't so bad. I got that done- working by myself- in a little more than 1 hr. The drivers side for some reason fought me until I finally went and borrowed a coil spring compressor. Total time was 3.5-4 hrs. I am very satisfied with the appearance as it sits like it should now. Anyone else have this issue?

Uh, yeah, I'm working on it. Busy with my sons all-star baseball team(coaching) and I had a limited amount of time yest before I needed to get to our practice. I'll get them asap. Problem was I couldn't get the lower strut mount to cooperate. The strut was slightly twisted and I couldn't get the A-arm to droop enough. I was worried about the brake line, which was pretty tight. And when I got in and started the truck after completion, the brake pedal went almost to the floor, but 2 pumps and it was back to normal, without any further problems. Is that normal?

OK so I tried to take some pics quick as it was starting to rain, and I had it on video instead of picture 
. So I will have to try it again later after it stops pouring rain.
EDIT: I just noticed your location says Bagdhad, thank you for your service to our country. One of my good friends is Army SF 21/33 and he is heading back to Afghanistan in a few months.

2". That was enough of a pain for me. Well, only the drivers side really fought me a little. Thanks! 
My kids are fascinated with the power rear slider. They are always bugging me to open it.

Right Bismic- the toolbox is from the KR, its a Weathergard so I didn't want to part with it. It really looks big with the 5.5' box too. As far as ride quality- I think it rides awesome! And at 310 hp its no slouch with the 6 speed tranny. IIRC its 325hp with E85?
