Leveling kit is in, finally.
Plenty of room for 315s now, but they will have to wait until after I Dyno the truck on Nov. 19.
The 265s look lost under the fenders now.

I can do spacers in about 2 hours. It's not hard, just a pain. Here's what I do:
Remove sway bar
Place a jack under the frame and under the axle
Slowly lower jack under the axle until it's all the way down (a low profile jack makes this a lot easier)
Slide top of spring out
Place spacer on top
Force spacer and spring in
Jack axle back up (make sure you keep an eye on the jack under the frame)
Remove sway bar
Place a jack under the frame and under the axle
Slowly lower jack under the axle until it's all the way down (a low profile jack makes this a lot easier)
Slide top of spring out
Place spacer on top
Force spacer and spring in
Jack axle back up (make sure you keep an eye on the jack under the frame)

Thanks Guys. It only took us about 2 hours to install the spacers.
This is how we did it.
Unbolt the track bar from the axle, unbolt the sway bar, remove lower shock bolts.
Jack the truck up and place stands under the frame. Remove upper shock tower and shock. Remove drivers side spring and install spacer, snug the nuts to hold in place. Reinstall spring, install shock and shock tower. Repeat for the passenger side.
Lower the truck and reattach sway bar and track bar.
The passenger side spring gave us a hard time, but no big deal.

My passenger side was more of a pain for some reason too. (Guess because the drivers side was already in and had it cocked?) I ended up with a free spring compressor rental from Auto zone. Still have my dental work and the kit is in.
