    Yeah it takes a little fiddling, but you'll get it right. They will settle some,but they ride nice. I have all-pro standard leafs and mine is still a little stink bugged(higher in the rear), but I like it, it's perfect.

    Good to hear, I got the all-pro standards too and would rather have a bit of rake than bro-lean.
    Should I adjust the preload before I install them? I don't want to be messing with punch sets while its on and fucking anything up.

    Definitely adjust before you put them on. Especially if you have reservoirs.

    I installed the coilovers as them came and put the tires on 285/75/16 to see where they are and how much tire rubbing I got. I got a little so I took a dremel to my mudd flaps. It still rubs on sharp turns lol. So unfortunately I will have to adjust. Although i still have to lift the rear up too, with the new shocks and leaf pack I bought. This might help with the rubbing since I'm currently sagging ass... I plan on installing the rear this Saturday haha and let you know

    andni was going to ask NABesst, why the drivers side lean ? I currently have it leaning too by 1/2 inch.. kind of on accident lol I was adjusting the coilovers to be able to fit in place and then once I finally snug it in I forgot I adjusted the preload

    "Taco Lean" I believe mostly because of the gas tank mounted on the driver's side. More noticeable with a full tank of gas.

    No it is not. B/c the shock body lengths for a LT kit is longer than a OEM length. I do not recommend it.
