    I might go shoot myself. . . Will it be really bad if i ride them like that for awhile? Now im just scared of getting it aligned because im going to get bashed for having them set so high! damn it

    Big tires, big lift, Lots of stuff's.
    It's just stiffer you may wear the shocks faster. I changed mine pretty fast ride was much better.

    I wonder if a spring compressor could fit on the coil while still installed on the truck? Compressor the coil enough to raise the spring perch up and move the clip down. Then let the spring back out...

    I think it would work, someone please correct me if I'm not...

    It will definitely ride better with the billies set lower. You want to use the spring to do the lifting and not so much the shock.

    Thats just it, I INSTALLED THEM haha i remember they were a PAIN IN THE ASS because i did them without a compressor. if the method of not taking them completely out again works i will do that but i just literally put everything together so im gonna leave it like that for a bit and just live with the ride. I havent even drove yet due to other things going on with the truck

    Like someone else already mentioned, bring it to the mod day and someone can take a look at it for you. If you've got the billies at 2.5 with the eibachs, you're looking at something close to 3.5-4 inches of lift.

    A small handful of select mods.
    If you are at almost 4 inches of lift just in suspension i doubt it will align.
    We will be smoking a brisket but I light the grill up too if you want to bring some meat for it. Just make sure to bring the buns.
    Check out sliders and Addicted off road. :)
