Your rear does not have a strut assembly. The springs and shocks go on separately.

Do you have part numbers? This will help in identifying front vs. rear. What you will end up doing is putting the front springs w/ the front shocks and the stock hat as a fully assembled unit up front.

its all the heavy duty stuff i looked under my truck and i saw the place for the coils in the back for some reason i didnt think they were back thier ha.. so when i jack my truck up will the coils be easy to just pull out or what should i use to take them out? im getting my front coils and shocks compressed at this auto place down the road so i dont need to worry about that to much

IIRC, you disconnect the panhard and the shock, the axle should drop making the spring easier to take out and put back in. The panhard though was a PITA to put back...

escoastrider72, please post some pics when you get that lift installed. I plan on running an OME 2" lift and would like to see how your 2.5" looks. Thanks.
