Talked to Sam today. I on the hook for the the T Bars and Shackles... already have the shocks. But, now I want the RH Shock setup in front, cut out the cans, etc... but then we started talking about an A-arm kit. SAVE ME!! And I am going to find out about having Deaver whip me up a set of leafs.

Got the shocks and shackles. Man those shocks look nice. Any tips on installing them? I'm guessing the shorter ones are the front ones?

[HummBebe]

That would be correct. It is not really necessary to jack up the truck or pull off the wheels.

You can if you want.

The fronts are tough because of the fender liner. It's a knuckle buster

Do the Fox shocks need to be compressed to get on?

[trailerpup]

The front Fox shocks will need to be compressed and kept compressed to install them. The are very hard to keep compressed. I used a large wire tie to keep them compressed. Put them in place and put the bottom bolt through then cut the wire ties and let the shock expand the bayonett up through the mounting hole. The rear are easier... Put the bolts in the upper mounts and compress by hand and push onto the lower mount. Now, the front "clips" are a different story. Good Luck. Post pics.
