Topic: help, need a leveling kit

Thanks. I'll see if that takes care of the bit of a different ride I have since the lift has been put on.

Just ordered it. Yet another mod to do once the weather breaks.

I had to use the tire arm wedged on top of the rotor and under the shock bracket to slowly get it to compress.
That was the only hairy part.  Maybe there is a better way, I don't know.  To do it by hand really burns the forearms out.

Next dumb question. Was there install instructions with it?

Yes.  Literally unbolt the bottom of the shock.  Use the new bolts to bolt the extender to the bottom of the shock.  Bolt the extender onto the control arm.
The only problem is lifting the shock to have it slowly (and i mean slowly) compress since adding an extender.

Gotcha. Thanks.

Hi everyone!  So, I buy the new Furd Stealership keys, I get the shock extenders, and ultimately get the new wheels and tires.  Is it really that simple?  Can I do this myself?  Is there anything that says YOU CANNOT do this without the keys?  Are there better results with the keys?  I am kind of at a loss here, probably because I'm thinking about how easy this is :P

HEELLLPPPP!!!!!

Start spraying them with PB Blaster everyday about a week before you go to change them. Mine had to be cut off by the shop that did mine.

i know about pb blaster and that it works magic, but will that really help in the long run when i go to change them?  is there any kind of instructions that come with the keys?  i probably will be getting the tuff country keys from jc whitney.  thank you!
