I love the ride, but if any of you guys are from Tulsa, you know that some areas (Utica, for example) can be rough on a dropped ride.

THe only recomendation i have is that the kit had a torque spec for the new shackle brackets on the rear both driver and passenger side that said torque to 100lb/ft. Two of the bolts broke after barely 50lb/ft. So, i would say ratchet tight, I have checked the bolts at 10,100,1000 miles, and they have not budged, so its your call on that. Oh, and definitely remove the bed. You can do the install without, but it is sooooooooo much easier without the bed in the way.

Remove the bed for a shackle bolt? Thats nutz! All you gotta do is jack up the axle untill the leaf spring hole gets to the top of the bed. Then use the space in between the frame and the bed to put the bolt in.
