I just did this so be prepared if this is your 1st go around.

tools need 19MM socket(short and long), 22MM socket(short), Breaker Bar,

If you have a big Tow you will need to get shorter U bolts for the new leaf springs, Or you can do what i did and just use galvinized 5/8 nuts to make up the length difference. I used one per bolt, worked fine

i have been doing a lot of thread surfing and havent heard about any actual leaf packs to lower the rear of our trucks as im also looking to do this to mine. i have a set of 24'' wheels on the way and would like to level my truck before these are installed so any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Ok so after careful deliberation and hours of surfing suspension threads on every titan sight known to man ive come to the decision to go ahead with the mcgaughys 2/3 drop and prg shackles. i would love to see this set up on another king cab with 24's first but i think it will be what im looking for.
