Ok, I just installed them on my truck. They went on real easy. I learned somethings too. I'm going to have them up for sale tomorrow, or tonight if I get but that's unlikely.

A few observations.

1. The ride is definitely smoother.
2. The camber changed (Erik). It's very noticeable.
3. You need to use the the stock extension bumptops or shim your shorties like I did. (pictures below) Otherwise the LCA's hit the uderside of the lift bracket (don't know if that's an issue on a stock truck), the CV's are at the limits, and the outter tierods are about there as well.
4. The changes I made to the spacer made for minimal trimming.

For those with 4" lifts and air shocks....

5. I had to back off the t-bar bolts as far as I dare do so as well as lower the shock pressure 110psi to get the gap between rim and fender around 19". At this point the height is still higher than it started out and I have a lot more droop. I expect this to increase the functionality of the air shocks. I'm way excited to wheel it.

6. My fend/rim gap was 18.5". It went to 20" (as expected) after spacers and is now about 19".

Here's some pics...




Here's where I trimmed.





I'll get some more pics tomorrow of the front jacked up (droop) and of the whold truck's profile.
