Well, today I was able to change the passenger side coil spacer from the under mount to the upper mount. (will do driver side tomorrow) Thought I'd post some pictures on the process of putting in coil spacers since I can't remember if someone already has.

You will have to remove the lower control arm. At least I did, both times I've done this, and from what I've read it seems to be a pretty standard preceder. I will say, be careful!! This is dangerous and you could hurt yourself if you don't be aware of what you are doing and not watching where the jacks are on the control arm. They can slip easily.

First off, this is the old, cheap cast, spacer I had. Glad I was getting rid of it, you can see a corner actually chipped off (top corner of the second picture). I definitely don't recommend these spacers, get the top mount coil spacers. Either the polyurethane spacers or the fabricated spacer like what I went with.

This is the spacer I switched to.

Alright here is actually getting the spacer in. Take the spring, put it on the control arm and use two jacks and jack up from the back, with a tall jack, and use the other jack and jack up from under the ball joint. You will use both jacks to jack up until the spring and spacer are seated in the upper coil bucket then you will use mostly the rear jack, but don't let the front get too low or the coil will pop out. While jacking up you need to line up the bolt holes in the lower control arm mounts.
PS: Make sure you can jack up the rear jack high enough (before you put the coil in), you might need to lower the truck on the jack stands after the wheels are off.
PSS: The truck will actually lift off the jack stands when you are jacking up the control arm and lining up the bolt holes, so your jack will need to lift higher than you think.

Bolts in. Don't tighten them down until the full weight of the vehicle is on the ground.

I also added my ProForged tie rod sleeve on the passenger side

It's been a while since I've been on here I apologize hahaha. And to the Tennessee guys on here there is a truck meet at Percy Priest this Saturday (July, 16) I'll be at if any of y'all wanna come on out. So since last time I was on here I have gotten a brand new paint job, had all the trim removed (except the tailgate banner), got a new chrome bumper and grille, and got LED tail lights, and soon to have halos in. In my opinion the truck looks much much cleaner now!

Brought it home, making plans to paint it this winter, may even be time to replace the 305. She runs great, but she's a dog, even with the 4.10's. May put a 350 or 383 in this winter too. Thought about an LS, but I kind of want to keep it old school...
