    Are you talking about the harbor freight tubing roller? It works but you have to do some modding to it because it breaks the bolts otherwise. It's not much and eventually it does work with enough manpower lol

    Though I can't remember what size tubing my ex used with it but it was pretty small. He attempted to make an exo cage out of the toothpick sized tubing and it looked awful.

    Its comming together nicely

    Is there any hardware that comes with the DIY kit? I have a 2001 so I dont have to cut the frame plates. Im hoping were supposed to reuse the old bolts because I didnt recieve any extras with the kit.

    I have mine sitting in the bed of the truck just waiting for me to put it together.

    Found these on CL San Diego today..$60.... been on his truck for only
    4 months...They Look like NEW! Bushings also looked NEW! He still had the boxes, No scratches!
    My truck still had the stock blue ones on with 170,000 miles!
    Holy Heck!!! installed these right away... Immediate difference, i noticed it right away just driving out off my driveway! Much Much better smoother ride..

    Seller is a Good Dude!!!! He has a 4wd that he added Deaver rear leaf packs too, that gave him 4 inches of lift! So he had to get longer Stroke shocks...

    I am a Believer now! Billys!!!!!! Now if i could find such a deal for a set of struts, Whew!!!

    Damn! Good find. Im getting mine soon....did you use your stock springs? Im running 265/75/16 on stock height but I would like to go to 285's sometime next year.

    I was gonna go with OME but decided the Billy's will work just fine.....and they will match my truck :cool:

    These are Rears......... I do not have much experience with different shocks but these bad boys made a Huge difference over stocks w/ 170,000.. Believe it or not the stock shocks were not Shot!
    It was the price, i could not let these slip by....

    My 04 has the white tokico shocks with red lettering...they are still in good shape, but I want the Billys
