    Sad that we have to thank people for doing what is basically required by every business....that said, the customer service experience was the same for me!

    I give credit where it's due. We always hear about the bad experiences and never the good ones. So when I get the chance I make sure to thank anyone who has done a good job.

    I put the rears on this evening. Going to get up bright and early tomorrow and go over to my buddy's shop. Hopefully he'll let me borrow a lift, if not then back to the house to do it the traditional way. Can't wait, I love getting my hands dirty.

    oddly enough I got mine today too, and I too will be borrowing a lift at a friend's shop to get the fronts in.

    Got the front 5100's installed. Truck looks a whole lot better. Went with the .85 and couldn't be happier. The stink bug is gone and she sits pretty much level. Should level a little more as the TSB springs settle. I got the front end lined up with no problems. Took about 3.5 hours total time. We weren't able to use a lift so that slowed us down a bit. Luckily we were able to use the spring compresser stand. Make sure you drop the sway bar it makes it a lot easier.

    I highly recommend getting a partner to help you. If my dad hadn't been able to help I would have had to take it to a shop. Putting the fronts back required a pry bar, a rubber mallet and a lot of elbow grease. Had fun doing it though been awhile since I've been able to do hands on automotive work.

    Ride is much better also. Went on a pretty rutty trail and it doesn't try to yank the steering wheel out of my hands anymore. It's a whole lot smoother both on and off road. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants to level the front and get a better quality ride. Thanks again to DSM and to TW for the wealth of information on here. :woot:
