Good Job Brian. I wasn't so lucky...took me 2 days (working on it after work) How do you like it so far. Is the back end setting ok?

It is sitting about an 1/2 inch higher then it was. The kit came with longer bolts and I am at the very bottom against the cotter pins so i can't lower it anymore. The ride is a little better. The old spring seem to bounce more then this one but they may change after a few weeks of driving.

I've used a TRW for 15 years now with no problems......a much smoother ride over the FE7 steel spring now in the attic.
