    Well 2 hours and I got both done and cleaned up. Just removed the two LBJ bolts (those are MASSIVE compared to 1st gen bolts) and I was good. Pretty easy except the drivers side was really stuck in there. Thanks again Jason!

    Any good recommendations for fishing spots near south lake? Maybe off of 50? Heading up next weekend, would like to throw a few lines before heading back home. No fly fishing, just a simple spinning reel...

    Cheers!

    Where you at? I did it on my first gen, it isn't too bad. Are you a 1st or second gen?

    stuff
    Yes, you just have to make sure the billies are set to "0" (stock height).

    That's what I got from wheelers when I called.
    Two shops I've called say they can't.
    Just going to go to one and tell them to put them on and leave on lowest setting.

    Yes they will. But not a great ride. I got rid of mine and bought Nitrochargers. Must better.

    And set the Bilsteins on zero.

    First, it was a 1st gen, so there may be a tiny bit of difference there.

    However, it felt great at first, huge improvement over worn out stock progressive coils and the "stock" HD Bilsteins that came on TRDs.

    But I swear it got harsher and harsher and harsher. After about 10k miles I gave up on them and swapped in the nitros. Ride quality was the only issue I experienced, but I didn't take it out and beat it on trails, just mild offroad at that time.

    Just consider this: why would you not use OME coils with OME shocks when they are engineered to go together?

    Also need to make sure to get the right coils. Check the OME coil weights and get the appropriate ones for your truck.
