    I put the nut on the pin first, then cut the end of the pin.
    Then removed nut from pin and installed pin in leaf pack.
    Because of cutting through the threads, you want to make sure that the nut can be easily unthreaded from and threaded back onto the pin prior to installing on the leaf pack.

    You will need at least a 2 inch spacer up front to make up for the negative rake. When I had fox 2.5 resi/dcs front and rear with a 1 inch block and at full 3 inch lift up front it’s barely level. Here’s a pic

    I had these put on my Pro. 1” block in rear. I also had some Total Chaos UCAs installed, ECGS bushing done, and a cab mount chop. Currently using 17x8.5 SCS F5s with 285/70/17 KO2s. No rubbing at all. Sometime next year I’ll shell out for the complete coilover upgrade. Until then I just stick with light off-road usage.

    maybe a dumb questions since I haven't done anything with the rear suspension on my truck but can the new center pin be inserted along with the 1/2" spacer without removing the spring pack from the truck? Just remove the u bolts and lower the axle some?

    Parts are still sitting on my backseat. Still haven’t had the time to throw them on. Maybe this Sunday.

    Those front spacers fit your 2018 pro? I’m searching for a solution with my 2020 to clear tires. Thanks

    Yep. About 15k miles later and zero problems with the setup. Don’t do much off-roading though.
