Default 2" autospring kit

Got my 2" autospring kit in, and I have a couple questions.

One, trying to build some confidence. I want to do the install myself. are the torque specs important or can than just be tightened down real tight? I don't have a torque wrench, I believe I can get one, but I def. don't want to buy one for this project.

Two, I have 305/50/20's(32"). Are they going to look small. I hate a truck that has to small a tire. I have seen pics with 305/55 (33") and I thought that was perfect.

Any comments would be great. Thanks guys.

This is not a bad job. I put mine auto spring on a few months back. I used a 3/4 impact. I would borrow a torque wrench r rent one from a parts store. The hardest part was breaking the ball joint off with just a hammer. Use good jack stands and follow the directions and you will be fine. You also will have to get the toe set after the kit. Take you time and do it right. I took my time didn`t rush anything and did it under 4 hours. There are a lot of post here about this project.

Thanks for the response. I did it this afternoon, wasn't bad at all. I love the way it looks, I will be getting it alinged in the morning. Like I said though, love the way it looks, can't believe how big a difference it makes, love it.
