I like how the truck looks after installation

I like how the truck looks after installation. The rear feels stiffer and doesn't squat as much when towing. Installation was pretty easy (easier with two people) and took about 2 hours.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Some problems

Easy installation Suitable for leaf springs

Easy installation. Watch some YouTube videos as this will help you go through the process faster. Use the C-clip to hold the other sheet metal in place before removing the old center screw. So you can pack your things faster.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Protection

The lowest price guarantee is not always the best.

The box was mixed up on arrival, there were no central fixing screws. Center bolts are over $10 each, so guaranteed lowest price. I should have bought them locally, I think $15 more, but I took my time and wanted them delivered to my door. So I have $85 worth of worthless springs and now I need information on what quality, length and center bolt I need so I can run around town like an idiot to fix this problem.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Not bad

Well worth the effort the results exceeded my expectations

For my needs this spring kit exceeded my expectations it added more lift to my 2500hd than expected which is a good thing. Between this spring and the new shocks, the ride quality towing our caravan has improved significantly, bumps and wobble are gone, the trailerless ride quality is smooth even with the extra 4 inches of lift I got in the deal. The two stars for the setup just means that for the DIY crowd the process takes time if you don't have an elevator.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Good but not great

Have two jacks so you can raise and lower both the axle and the frame.

Installed on my 1998 Chevy Silverado 1500 (k1500). I had the front torsion keys raised slightly, so the rear end sags a lot. With a little rake this works perfectly when I'm pulling trailers. Raised the tail about 2.25 inches and strengthened the tail. The installation with floor jacks and bottle jacks definitely took longer than expected. Remember that you must have a choke to raise and lower the axle and frame at the same time. I didn't have an elevator so I improvised with blocks and it was…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Crumpled

Well! Works as advertised.

Installed on my 82 K10. The tail is set at the perfect height (about 2 inches raised as advertised). EASY INSTALLATION! Driving behavior has greatly improved. Restored my old weak springs. I could buy cheaper brands. but they are worth the extra money as the ride is great. Everyone. And if they do it on a straight axis K10. they must be good. Beautiful, strong, well-made feathers! Great fit! The hardest part was cutting off the old U-bolts. (with an electric cutting tool) Jacks - 2 jacks - 4 C…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • poorly thought out
