    This method is Lots safer than those scary ass spring compressors. Would have been kinda screwed up having them on the truck warped like that though. I can't imagine driving with them like that would be good for the shocks.

    OMG! That is pretty freaking ingenious! I NEVER would have thought of installing them that way, but that is DEFINITELY safer than using the little coil compressor thingys I used. Thanks for the video link.

    I'm looking at doing the same thing to my 2015 Double Cab Sport 4X4, how is the ride compared to stock? Is it a lot stiffer? Does it handle better on the street? How much lift did you get in the front?
