    Folks

    You may have recently read about my ridiculous misfortune with the mechanic removing my spacer lift kit (which the previous owner installed) to the tune of several hundred dollars.

    The mechanic removed the spacer lift kit from each coil spring and the blocks in the back, but he fuc^king forgot to take out the diff drop pucks. The truck is now stock height, and the CV shafts are actually tiled upwards, because the diff drop is still installed. It drives fine, but I want it 100% to stock.

    First question: Should I take those out? I am scheduled for an alignment.

    Second, I think I need to get some new factory bolts because the videos I see of a diff drop kit include longer bolts. Just confirming what is probably the obvious.

    Cheers,

    Reinhardtius

    PS/PSA: F!@k spacer lift kits.
