    If definitely would work, it comes with the standard quick connect couplings and a few adapters.

    So to lessen my lift a little I took off the bottom leaf from my OME pack, I don't think it will have adverse effects unless I really overload the rear end.

    Good idea.. When I did mine it literally got lifted like 4 1/2" lol. Eventually when you break in the springs a little you might end up wanting to put it back.

    Exactly my thinking. Yeah I'm going to keep it around. Might keep my stock overload leaf pair too, just for options later on.

    Good thinking on removing the bottom leaf. These are taking a long time to settle, I have had 270lbs in the bed all winter for traction and I still have the same amount of stinkbug rake. I think the CS019R leafs are just way heavier duty in general. Excited to see your truck lifted, it is a whole different beast once she's up tall.

    If you have any questions during the process PM me, I'm always willing to share what little I know. :p

    Yeah I think they are a heavier duty leaf pack for sure.

    One question... If I have to cut off the front bolt that attaches the leaves to the frame, can I just replace it with a grade 8 metric equivalent bolt?

    yea that's a good idea too. I was thinking of doing the same but after a few months I realized that they are still pushing the rear end up a bit higher than the front even fully loaded lol.. Ended up giving my old leafs to the scrap metal guy.

    Umm I've heard of people replacing it with something like that but when I went to 20+ hardware stores/auto part stores I gave up and just went to the dealership and had to special order them. Only took one day for them to get them though.

    It would be fine for a short period, but it is best to find something like the Daystar greasable option so the bushing isn't riding on threads (chewing it up).

    Got a crap ton done today and yesterday! New CVs, New All-pro uniball UCAs are in and my Fox Coilovers with my Eibach could are in, took some persuading, but they're in! She is sitting pretty high and my alignment is horrible!!!
    Some pics for now until I get better ones.
    Tomorrow I start on the rear.

    Looks good bro, now we need a full truck picture! Did you adjust your fox coil overs or did you leave them how they came?

    Eric (from Relentless Fab) sent them to me at 2" and 2.25" threads showing, I changed it, then changed it back lol. These are the Eibach 650# coils too, hope she settles a little, my fiancé likes Roxanne more now because the sliders are at an appropriate step height instead of just being in the way.

    I brought the nice DSLR and forgot last night :anonymous: after today or tomorrow before the alignment I'm hoping to get a good set of pics.

    Ah I think I have the same springs as you haha.. Just be careful that you don't set them too high if you do end up adjusting them (Not saying you did in the first place..) I had adjusted my toytec boss coil overs too high and ended up ruining my steering rack, it still works but it will go out within a few months - a year probably.. Also made the ride really harsh. I probably will never touch the adjustments on my coil overs again.

    Yeah I just put them back to what they were when I got them. Yesterday I ran into a problem... My front bolts holding the lead sprigs had seized to the sleeves, so I took a sawzall and drained 3 batteries cutting almost one side free. Guess I'm taking the plug in sawzall today. Have my alignment scheduled for tomorrow and I need the truck Friday by 5, so I better get it done today.

    I tried cutting that exact same bolt with a plug in sawzall... Wasn't happening.. Ended up using a grinder. Just gotta be careful.

    I don't have a grinder... :anonymous: But I have 4 charged batteries for the battery one and I'll take the plug in one. I did cut through one side of one of the bolts last night. Only 3 more to go! Lol

    Edit make that 6 18v batteries.

    Lol make sure you have a lot of sawzall blades I guess.. man I love my grinder, it was only like 15-25$ from harbor freight. mine has lasted almost 6 years! But shipping might be a bitch since your all the way out in Alaska.
