Finally got my new PP springs installed yesterday afternoon, and what a difference. I had a buddy of mine that owns a couple of Meineke franchises set me up on one of his lifts. And he had one of his guys help me out. Access to a lift was a major plus. The rears were almost drop-out / drop-in. The fronts were a bit more involved being the assembly has to come out. But it helps when you have access to a wall-mount spring compressor which made the job a whole lot easier.

The difference in the ride and handling, especially with the Warm M8000 and TJM bumper on the front are tremendous! Night and day! From what I measured I gained approx. 1 1/2" in the front and closer to 1 3/4" in the rear, as it fixed the small amount of sag in the rear due to the equipment I carry around in the rear. No more rubbing under compression in turns or bouncy sponge ride. Thank God. Now the next thing to do is figure out what the biggest tire size I can fit under there to give me a bit more height. Probably go with a 75-series instead of the 70-series I run now. I'll take some pics to post. It sure sits better than before.

And no more skid-plate drag hopefully when I get to EC4RJ-04. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
