Holy Moly!

Little brown truck dropped off a package yesterday for me. When i went to pick the larger of the two boxes up, i was not expecting the weight. Almost blew out one of my boys. . AThese freakin springs from Kore are heeeeavy!

Do yany of you guys have some good advice for me on installing the leveling kit? I suspect the spring are not going to be easy to get in or out in the driveway.

Never heard that one!

Driveway is no problem - I've done it in the grass before.
Just jack up the truck enough to allow plenty of room for the axle to drop way down for spring clearance. Plan on disconnecting trackbar & sway bar endlinks (and a bit of tension on your "spring compressor" if you don't want to remove steering linkages and/or control arms).

You can use the OEM bottle jack to push the axle down a little bit further without unhooking anything but the shocks and the brake line bracket from the axle...very FAST!

Do it on the bumpstop!

Nah...just don't crank it further down than needed...works real slick. I had to cram really long springs into mine (because they are so soft) and it was the only way. Spring compressors in my case have opnly left me with busted knuckles and scratched paint or pc on my springs!
