    that is just a stock suspension from a 2013. The same as what you took off. So essentially a "lowering kit"

    but your spacer needs to go below the tophat.. it wouldnt be worth it, unless we had all the tools, and didnt need to rent anything

    Haha well I guess I need to buy a spring compressor. I understand that logistics, but my question is, wouldn't putting a spacer in that coil-over reduce the effective/reason for having progressive coils? It's preloading the spring right? So I would basically be skipping the lighter spring right in the beginning.

    They're easier but make for a little bit rougher ride. They limit your shocks travel more than the in-coil-over spacers.

    True true, for my first suspension work I just why with those for the install ease.

    They are very easy to install, and, also, how much of a difference they make in ride quality may be negligible. I have never had over the shock spacers in this truck so I really don't have anything to compare it to.
