    I really don't know what kind of kits they have, just know they're getting Maxtracs.
    I saw that you were installing them in your thread, that's easily done & shouldn't take too long.

    Good idea to re-torque. Wheel spacers on the front? I love my hood struts. I put mine on when I still had free oil changes & it was fun to watch the guys in the service bay figure our why the hood went up on its own. Haha

    Installing my spindles tomorrow with a friend.
    Any last minute tips for install? List of helpful tools would be great.
    I'm gonna try removing my bilsteins/coils without a compressor using the 'raise lca then undue top bolt ' method.
    If I'm setting billies at 0, do I need a compressor to re-install the coil on the shock?

    Just do the reverse of removal. Set the coil on the shock body and spring perch, jack up the LCA and guide the upper shock bolt into the top hat and make sure the coil is seating properly at the top side when doing so, so when it starts compressing with the LCA you just need to get the bolt on and torqued, and the coil is properly located.

    That makes perfect sense thanks.
    One more question, since I'm removing the coil and shock as well as the stock spindle, should i do one before the other not unbolt the lca until the shock is out ?
