    I was looking through the DSM site, and I wanted to replace the leaf pack (with 3" lift) rather than aal.... so should I get the one with bilstein 5125's?

    Get a leaf pack..take measurements..then call DSM. They will get your the correct length 5125s. Its varies by truck and lift.

    Also If you decide to go with All-Pro, they have shocks specifically setup for the pack you buy. GOOD LUCK!! ;)

    Ok I installed my Eibach's and 5100's today. After taking 4.5 hours to get everything out of the truck we assembled the new struts. Put them in the truck and everything went fine until I drove it. Living on washboard roads as I drove the truck over the bumps I was hearing a metal on metal sound. I figured out what the problem was but I dont know what I missed in the strut assembly. Here is a picture
    of the problem.

    DSCF6363_d72491c9230d14366fcbc4a97a5646cfc3b787ba.jpg

    There shouldnt be a gap between the nut on the strut assembly and metal washer.
    Any ideas?

    Yea that should be there..you did order new bushings? It seems you have forgotten one..I'd guess the lower one. Way too much space there

    I didn't get new bushing when I installed my struts since I got both my billies and eibachs used. Looks like something is missing from the top-plate/bushing assembly. Who did you have assemble your struts?

    Assembled struts myself. I found what was missing. Its what i would call a bottom washer. Its a like 2 inches wide or so. I will throw it on tomorrow and see what it looks like then.
