Todd,

I installed the kit today! Awesome. Took me and my dad 7 hours... non stop. One question though. I noticed that the spring mounts where a bit wide for my springs. There's about 1/16 inch on each side of the spring bushings(1/8" total), both on the front mount and on the shackle sode after I tighten the bolds pretty tight. My springs are rough country's with poly bushings. I can tighten it down some more but the mounts will bend. What should I do? should I add some washers as spacers or tighten and bend?

Sinch them down...tight... then back it off a bit. Sometimes the brackets did 'flex' a bit after a cut and weld... I noticed this on a few...this has since been corrected. No spacers needed.

Anything else, just let me know....

Thanks Todd, I'll tighten it down see how it flies. I should have pics really soon, just need some final touches.

thinking about one for both my rigs.
