    Over the last two days I installed a 2/1 lift on my truck. I put in a 1 inch strut Spacer up front and a 1 inch block in the rear as well as a different drop kit. So far rides great!

    Thanks! I did rough country up front and maxtracs in the rear with new u bolts, I also did the revtek diff drop ... Initial impression I like it but after I've had it for a while I'll give you an update

    With some patience, air tools and YouTube at the ready you should be totally fine to do it yourself! I used extreme terrains video for the front install. Before this I had zero suspension modification experience.

    The strut Spacer in the front was a little shorter than the OEM bolts on top of the strut so I used a Dremel and a cut off wheel to cut off the tips so the spacer would sit flush. That was definitely the most intimidating part but once I got started it was easy.
