For those still searching and depicting how they should level there truck, im writing this to help you out. I ordered all 4 shocks from AJUSA. There were on back order, but got them shipped out even earlier then when they said. Great shipping awesome price. Installation, Easy.. Took the wheel off, took the three nuts off of the top of the strut and the big bolt that holds it to the lower arm at the bottom. Then dropped the upper ball joint so that the whole knuckle would fall. Went to the two bolts that hold the sway bar to the frame and losen those and the knuckle fell even more, shimmied the strut assembly right out. DONE i set my on the highest setting. Installation in reverse. Rears are easy, jack up the rear end and its two bolts. DONE. I was nervous about the first drive but everything checked out. The truck looks awesome and the ride is definately more firm which i love. It also helps visability at night. My low beams are much more effective then they were at stock height. Alignment stayed dead on but just to be sure i will be getting a alighnment done today. I am on stock tires. I have xds sitting in my garage waiting for tires when i decide on a size and brand. This is definately the right way to level a truck. The shocks make the biggest difference! Post pictures later

I was under the impression that a spring compressor was needed to do the fronts ??

Your impression is correct Sir.

You may love the low beams but all the oncoming traffic will hate you. lol You need to go and readjust your headlights.

Pics soon, on stock tires doesnt look as bad as i thought but im waiting to wrap the wheels in my garage. Trying to tackle a popping feel in my steering wheel now. Truck was solid for a week so i dont think its related to the shocks. I checked out the sticky on this issue and apparently its common so a trip to the dealer is next!

You are absolutly correct, that was the only part i didnt do, i heard the springs were real heavy duty so i didnt even want to mess with it. Just took the spring/shock assembly to my local 4x4 shop.

You kind of left out the part about the spring perch transfer, the spring compression and assembling the new strut, and GETTING IT BACK IN. THAT'S the hard part.

And yes, you need a light alignment or you will start getting flashed.

Thats why i had the 4x4 shop do. I do apologize for not having that information. They had said they did them before so i felt good leaving them. Took them an hour of time and bam. Putting them back on was reverse taking apart. Wasnt bad at all
