prg leveling kit?

Can anyone shoot me a thread on instalation? I cant seem to find one. My one friend says you have to compress the springs and the other says you dont. Either way I am going to buy anyway
just looking for some insight on what I am about to get into.

With the prg kit you don't have to compress the springs. I don't remember all the steps, but it should only take about a hour for both sides. You can do it with regualr hand tools. The kit will come with great instructions.

Basically removing the strut, grind a little off the coil bucket(for upper a-arm clearance), put the spacer on the strut, & reinstall. Be careful not to pull on the brake and ABS lines, or the axle out(if 4wd). Unbolt the sway bar links 1st & reattach last.
If not equipped with alignment cams(offset lower a-arm bolts/washers), now would be an easy time to swap those too.
I know they're not always needed, but I believe in preventive maintenance.
Have it aligned, & recheck all bolts in about a week.

You don't need a spring compressor... The entire coilover comes off the truck, the spacer is added to the top of it, and you bolt it right back in... Simple as that.
