If you look closely at the pics, I initially had the spring perches installed upside down. Though the height clip was at the lowest setting, the front end was lifted like 2+ inches. Truck was squatted in the back with a full on pre-runner bro lean. No way was this going to work on my wife’s truck.
I slept on it and woke up in the middle of the night to grab the old shocks out of the trash and measure the distance to the spring perches. Then I went to measure the same on the new shocks installed on the truck. The error was immediately obvious. I went to bed knowing that I’d get up at first light and correct this. Got them out, corrected, and back installed in 2 hours. The learning curve is real. The bro lean was eliminated and my wife is happy. She has already drove the truck back to Montana and it performed flawlessly and now has over 413K miles.
