They do make it look like they squat more. I do landscaping on the side out of my truck and everytime I load a palet or so of stone it make the truck squat bad but its just becuse the front is jacked up. Everytime I load down the back it puts the thought of airbags in my head.

Just put on a Top Gun Customz leveling kit several weeks ago. No new shocks, no rough ride, no alignment, no death wobble, no problems. I did it myself with spring compressors in about 2 hours. Take a look!!

When you used the spring compressor....did you still put the frame on jacks and lower the axle to get the springs out or did you just support the axle and use the compressor to remove the springs? Sorry for the question, just want to do it the easiest way!

I did both and you will have to lower the axle it has to compress a long ways before you can add another 2".. I cranked one side all the way up and put the coompressor in there and then let it down. Compressed the spring enough to take it out!

Thanks that makes since now that I think about it! Did you take the end links off or take any control arms off to make it easier?

Shocks, trac bar, and sway bar links were what I had to unbolt.
Springs came out fine, had to use the compressor to put the spring back in with the spacer on top.

I unbolted the bottom control arm and it got me about 2 more inches.. That was all I needed. Definately get it aligned. I had death wobble so I took it in and the toe was out really bad.. Got it fixed no DW....
