im putting the daystar 1.5 inch spacers on tommorow and i was just wondering about how long it would take to put them on and what the difficulty was. Im pretty good with my hands and know my way around the truck.

Unless you are experienced with taking coil springs out, have a shop do it. Those things are dangerous.

Get a spring compresser it will make it less work but ya those springs are dangerous its not that bad just takes alittle time but the compresser will make it go by faster.But it ur not that good with your hands take it somewhere.

Alright fella's I got the spacers put in fine. There wasn't enough room for the compressors to fit so we undid the castle nut and the pivot points on the lower control arms as well as the shock and just put a jack underneath it and lowered everything down. We had no problems with anything. It took me and my buddy about 6 hours to do everything. It was a little easier than I thought it was going to be. Thanks for the advice though.
