A world of differences, who would have thought?

Easy installation would be 5 stars if I had the right tools for the job. (Spoiler alert) It's pinched to one side in case you didn't know. You'll need to get a fork or something to pull out that suction cup. A word of wisdom is to leave the nut cut a little while you tap the old one so it doesn't fall in your face! Installation took about 1-2 hours as I was working on site and didn't have the best tools for the job. I could see it was an easy 30 minute job with all the right tools at hand…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

I thought I somehow screwed up on the lift, I thought maybe my steering and suspension parts were bad, but even after replacing the old parts with heavier aftermarket parts I still had the same problem. One day I was looking for a replacement for my shock absorbers and came across it by accident. My

High pressure shock - no damper!

Installed on my 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Crew Cab Long Bed. My setup is completely stock except I run 3500HD 265/75R/16 tires, stock length, Fox 2.0 shocks (no lift), airlift -Airbags. When you squeeze and release this high pressure shock absorber it will spring back to its original position and that is exactly what it will do in your truck. When installed correctly, this caused a very small but noticeable pull on my truck to the right. I will not install a dual anti-roll bar kit just to

Pros
  • Great Design
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging
