    Yeah our front set ups are the same except I used my sport springs. Rear is expos & 1.5" block. My front & rear measurements are the same, started out @ 27" but after a few hundred miles has settled to 26.5". I'm sitting pretty level.

    Just picked up my 4" lift kit from Headstrong Offroad. Awesome people. Tomorrow the install.. Minimal mechanic knowledge. Ive done breaks and shock on my car before but nothing this big. We will see how it goes.

    Once you get in there it will all be self explanatory. Main thing I can tell is break lines and sway bar make sure before you start you undo the sway bar on both sides not one side after the other if you don't plan on lifting the whole truck up and before you take it for a drive. Spin those hubs bearings by hand and make sure they spin freely. Myself and a few others had an issue with it but they seem to have gotten that bug fixed. And make sure you route your abs wires correctly or you'll be like me and have one tear at full lock. All in all have fun drink a beer and get at it. If you run into any issues just shoot me a PM for my number and I'll walk you through it.

    The 4" MT kit will give you 4" up front with the spindles and 2" in the back with the blocks. This basically gets the truck level, but you could be a little nose high depending on the condition of your leaf packs.

    There's a ball joint nut on the back side of the spindle. Loosen that but don't take it off all the way & tap the side of the spindle where the ball joint stud goes through & it should pop loose.
