Default got the espelirs installed

still needs to settle some more. Me and a buddy did it in about 3.5 hours. It was WAY WAY WAY WAY EASIER than everyone on this site says. I didnt have to move the gas line or anything, very easy to get to. I just need some driveshaft spacers cuz about 48-59 mph I can feel it vibrate

A little hard to tell from the pics - looks like there's less than an inch between the tire and fender

Nice job! How does it ride?

Nice! Don't forget to get an alignment or kiss your tires good-bye.

Looks good. Glad you got them installed. Any issues with the install?

Don't forget about the alignment. You may want to wait a little bit to let the springs settle before doing so.

Have you noticed any rubbing issues.

no big issues, on the back it was kinda hard to get the lca bolt back in. I just stood on it to lower it and my buddy put the bolt in.

Havent noticed rubbing issues at all, I just cant beleive how the ride is, its like stock when cruising, and when you take a hard turn you can tell it handles better.
