If you just take out the upper control arm you can pull the whole strut out and do the job on a bench and rotate everything only take 1/2 hour as you don't need to disconnect the swag bar link or the steering rack

What did do about the lower bumpstops.....? Can you show a photo of the bumpstop gaps after fitting the spacers. Fitting strut spacers changes the geometry and you have a much bigger lower bumpstop gap and a reduced upper gap. Without fitting taller lower bumpstops you run the risk of bottoming out the shock. All you need to do is take a before and after photo to see the difference. You need to make people aware of this when fitting these spacers.

When he measured the back the tape measure wasn't straight up and down, it was slightly diagonal so it probably only measured 37 or 38 inches

To powerfulukltd, Sir are there any issues about the velocity joints of the front drive, will it not affect the immature wear and tear of the velocity joints in the front drive? And also if I will use extended shackle hangers for the leaf spring with 2 inches lift at the back will it affect the alignment of the propeller shaft going to the rear differential that may cause vibration during high speed? I will be very happy for your reply Sir and thank you, more power to you.

Hi Pedro - you are correct in that the angles of some of the joints will change - but these should be no problem unless you are doing high mileage.

Hi - the spacer that sits between the spring and the strut will do the same thing but there are some differences... 1) they are harder to fit as you have to remove the spring to fit them ? 2) the shock absorber travel is reduced as you are not moving the top of the shock absorber down. I am not really a pro expert at this truck lifting stuff so feel free to object / add comments
