Perfect and nice job. I think I cut one full turn in the front but a quarter turn is negligible. You should do the rears too. It needs the rear done more than the front usually because not only is the rear lighter but the stock springs are sometime 3 times stiffer. Also the rears mounts...

I just pry them out into a trash can with a moving blanket. They damn near fall out when you loosen everything up.

It's not stupid. That is an airbag that acts like a helper spring. You relocate the shock to the outside, weld in plates and install the airbag so if you are carrying extra weight you will ride level. I am making a kit for this. That way you get the softer ride and the option for level...

I bought 48" of 3/16" oring material and made my own. One dab of superglue and you're done. Just make sure you cut the ends square but even if it's a little off it's still good because it gets squeezed. It's maybe a buck a foot.

I have full coilovers with 8 inch travel. But my original comment stands. Spacers vs longer springs are the same because you are not going to block the springs either way.

In theory yes. But... with reduced rebound is increase in ride roughness and quality, which in turn decreases speed. With reduced speed comes reduced forces on suspension and thus decreased travel especially with really stiff suspension.

Lifting does not increase travel. In fact it diminishes it.

It doesn't work like that. Horrible ride comes from lack of down motion on lifted trucks. The springs don't know where they are. They don't know there is a spacer above them.

You could always use the spacer. Or m998 springs.

Chances are you are riding too high already. But to answer your question, you can always use the daytech spacers which gives 2 inches.

I completely agree with you. I've been pounding the wheel position/wheel travel drum for a while now as seen in my previous posts about whether the truck was riding too low. And to think people are still wanting to lift their rigs even more is ridiculous. With that said, my comment was...

Well the stiffer it is, the faster you need to go anyhow to make it comfortable..

I actually chucked those into the trash. They are nicer than stock but really unless you're going to use the truck as a 2.5 ton vehicle just dump those springs. I don't highly recommend those at all. Remove the shocks and push up and down. I bet you have 3.75 inches of shock shaft showing...

They used to be pretty fast but I think more people are doing it. I used to also pay 89 a pair shipped.

I used m998 shocks because I had a set of new ones lying around. They aren't terrible with a little speed. But the cost was 25 each so that's hard to beat. On my truck I have fully adjustable 2.5". I only cut off a 1/4 of a coil in the rear. 1 full in the front. They sagged a little...

No body lift. That is a stock 1152. After is softens up it should ride a little lower. As for being too low, mid travel should be 23 inches hub to fender.

Yes.

I put them in the rear of mine. But I also put them in the front and rear of my friends.

The springs without spacers are pretty close to maximum suspension lift before they settle in a bit.
