6" lift install tips???

can anyone tell me any special tips or tricks when installing the procomp kit?

what size socket do i need for the front axleshaft? i have a 36mm that i used on my s10, is it the same size on the titan? i have wrenches up to 1 1/2" and 32mm, can't imagine needing anything larger than that?

should i mark the bottom a-arm cam bolts somehow for reinstallation? i see that there are adjustment marks on them.

i am gonna do this myself along with some help. we installed a 6" fabtech on my friends 03 f-150 a few months ago, and it wasn't that hard. i figure this well be abit easier too, since there aren't any torsion bars to deal with.

thanks for the help

Tips???.....Just back away from the lift kit...and run!
I'm just bustin' your chops...
Don't worry about the lower arm cams, you need to have the frt end aligned after the lift install.

I thought all you needed to do this install was a pen to sign the bill.

I finally opened up all the boxes last night just to be sure everything was there. Didn't realize that the brake lines needed to be extended. Anything special with that i need to know, or is it just the standard procedure? Also, was glad to see that they were quite generous with the stickers. I also noticed that every little bag of nuts/bolts was neatly labeled, and the drawings in the instructions looked pretty good too. So far alot more impressed with this kit than the fabtech of my friends.

6" suspension

How does the 6" suspension lift effect towing?

I tow a 24' 7,000lb boat. Right now it tows fine the rear sags alittle when the tong hitch is on, but I cant complain. Anyone tow heavy loads with this lift? If so how far do you tow, how long are the towing periods?

-thx
Steve
