So, i installed my leveling kit on my truck and noticed that at full droop the upper arms are hitting coil bucket. Is this the way it's supposed to be??

Yes. That's why you should install the new bumpstops. Is it a PRG kit? If so, install the bumpstops. If it's a lesser kit, you need to go out and buy new bumpstops.

Did you put the 2WD kit on a 4x4?

Hmmmmm... sounds suspicious... Take a measurement of the spacer thickness and call Greg. It may have been packaged incorrectly. Or he may hav other suggestions for you. Sorry. Can't think of anything else right now.... :dunno:

Take some pics too. That might give an indication of what's going on under there.
I just put one of Greg's 2"LK's on my truck last week & I have the same problem. My first thought was that they sent me the wrong kit. I talked to Greg about it & he told me it's probably bad front shocks. I only have 16K miles on it & that seems premature to me. He also told me he would send the smaller kit if I want. I think it's a 1.3" spacer.

It's normal. Mine hit the coil bucket at full droop. I wouldn't sweat it man.

High bank railroad tracks + stoopid = some air. But I only did it a couple times.kartman said:

No jumping in my truck, but the roads around here *suck* and i've apparently hit full droop a few times - as there are knicks in my coil bucket to prove it.
I'm not so much worried about hitting it as much as i'm a little worried about damaging the upper arms when it happens.
maybe i'll just live with it for now.

correct you are catching air,
you need taller spindles
(if you keep catching air)
if not the bolts myt break (i think)
just dont drive so fast on a pot hole strewn road, you gotta be hitting them at a high rate of speed, i dont slow down like a low rider and i have no problem
my best advice is taller spindles or try not to jump crap...
