Shocks with a lift (follow up)

After reading all the recommendations from my previous thread on this subject, I finally pulled the trigger. Installed OME 2885 2" lift springs with the Bilstein 5100's on the front end. Best video for this was the team oil drop video "Easy 5100 Lift"

Installed using a floor jack as my spring compressor. Marked the alignment washers for the reinstall, LOOSEND the 2 lower control arm nuts, and removed the 2 19mm bolts on the mount bracket. Lowered the arm then removed the lower shock bolt and remove the top shock nut. Everything went according to plan. I did however adjust the drivers side shock to the .55 setting due to added weight on that side (double battery). Took the Taco in for alignment and they did not charge me as the alignment was still correct.

For the rear, I went with a i.5 " spacer block (I dont haul a trailer or have any additional weight in the truck bed)(Hence not going with an AAL)
Only had one small issue with this install, after the drivers side block was installed, when I went to remove the passenger side U-Bolts, the rear axle shifted forward about an inch or so. For as hard as I could pull, I could not get the axle to budge in order for the leaf spring centering bolt to align with the spacer. Took a ratchet strap and wrapped around the axle and the other end to a stationary object. Started tightening the strap and the axle started moving back and the pin dropped into the spacer block (whew) needless to say I was a little worried that it was not going to work. But it did and the truck looks and DRIVES great.
