One other thing. How can I tell what springs I have, the recommended 5305 springs or not, there was no writing on either spring anywhere. Ride seems quite a bit stiff. Also after reading through some older post I think I may have installed them upside down. I have the closer gap in coil to top and wider gap to bottom. Would this make a difference in ride?

2-3 is with autoride if you dont have autoride its 3-4.

the 5305 coils come with that kit ride great as long as you cut the bumpstops down but after 3 inches you need to cut the bumpstop bracket of the frame.

if you want a 2 inch drop its a completly different part number.

I added a second 3/4" spacer to the top of the spring. Now sits how I wanted it. When I installed the new spacers I flipped the springs over after reading some old post about the 5305 springs. I now have the closer coils on bottom which I now know is wrong. I find the ride is better now, close to stock. May be that I'm just getting use to it though. What will having them installed upside down affect?

Measurements are: Stock- LF- 35 5/8", RF- 35 7/8", LR- 38", RR- 38 1/8"; Drop with 1" Spacer on bottom (isolator on bottom of spring was left off) - LR- 35 5/8", RR-35 1/2"; After adding 3/4" spacer to top of spring (reinstalled bottom isolator)- LR-36 1/2", RR- 36 3/8". One thing to note is that the 1/8" lean went from the left side to the right side after installing the springs.

Will post new pics when I get a chance.
