Picked the kit at MM and just installed this morning. First impressions are great, much better ride and handling.
Installation was straight forward, nothing tricky, just a lot of nut turning, an impact wrench would make the job much easier. Floorjack, jackstands, 13/16 socket, 2 3/4" open end wrenches, 3/8 allen.
Tip, keep jack under axle and compressing spring when taking U bolts off. Overload springs just lift off, keep spacers and the original U bolts will work. Took me about 3 hours, 2nd time with impact wrench would be about 1 hour.
I'm looking forward to towing with this setup, I think it will be excellent based on how it works so far.
