    Mostly just need a hand to get packs out/in. Somebody had a procedure and isn't supposed to lift heavy objects.

    Never seen such negative “lift” on a leaf pack. Imagine the ride is night and day

    Sup guys haven't been posting on TW much but I've been catching up (stalking & lurking) when I can. Been fishing my ass off every weekend since summer pretty much. My boats steering took a dump so my season ended a little prematurely right when the fishing was going crazy so I figured Id spend some time on the truck. Wanted to level it out a bit was slightly ass high for my liking so I got a pair of 1/4" spacers hoping to raise her up 1/2" in the front.

    Its funny the more I wrench on my truck the more dumb shit I find that the stealership did on the frame swap. I've got mismatched nuts on the 3 bolts on top of the upper shock mount... Bought a 14mm ratcheting wrench just for this since its tight back there and then the one in the back is a 15mm ... Also there is no way the nut on the lower shock bolt is stock the thing is massive. Way bigger than the normal ones I have seen watching a few youtubes. I think the tech probably came across some super rusted nuts and had to cut them off and just used whatever they had lying around on the reassembly.

    Ive got new tires showing up today as well. Finally got tired of the vibrations running up my ass crack on the current set on the highway. Hoping to have a smooth ride at higher speeds.

    Now for my actual question ... Is there a way to drop the strut low enough to stick these spacers in without taking apart the majority of the front suspension? Was wondering if I will need to disconnect the ball joint bracket from the steering knuckle? Or if I can get away without doing that? Should I fully remove the sway bar or just disconnect the links? I'm always looking for a shortcut if there is one.
