Pretty good. You'll need to U bolts & hardware that hold it down the springs up front. But other than that.. yea, good deal. Tinley is about 40-50 miles south of me.

there the same ones im getting and they say up to 98. but the lakewood site and the instructions say 82 and up. so im gambling on they fit. if not then opps. refund time i guess. if you got them you could always resale them im sure.

They (being Lakewood) say you're not supposed to run the bars on anything lowered. Well, you all know I have an Xtreme & Xtreme have the ZQ8 suspension pkg that has the 1.5" lower springs.. that being said.. they sit from the ground to the bottom of the bar about 8-10". The reason lakewood doesn't want you to put these on lowered trucks is that the bar won't sit level & the snubber may not sit under the spring eye properly. I had to remove one of the springs, the helper spring to be exact. They sit more or less how they should.. the snubber is preloaded against the spring eye, lakewoods mentions this is OK.. but more for 'racecars'. It makes the truck's rear suspension very, very rigid, but I like it like that.
