    The lower spring seat is on upside down, that's going to ruin those 5100's really fast

    Good luck with those springs, I can't believe that "mechanic" got them to seat. I did all my suspension work myself, it's all pretty simple, but leave the alignment to a good shop.

    So I took everything apart yesterday and today I'll be going to a buddy's shop to decompress the coil springs and flip the seat around hopefully I'll have it all back together today if the rain isn't to crazy ( not having a garage that the truck will fit in sucks) pics when it's all done thanks again for all your help/advice

    Yup yup so it's all back together now but it definitely needs an alignment so I just took it around the block and it literally rides 10X better and right now the coil spring is no longer rubbing the uca hopefully it'll stay that way after its aligned then just a bit more plastic trimming caus the 33s def rub now just minor plastic trimming tho. Big thanks to all for your kind words and helhelpful advice
