Dnasty, you have the so called "z71" springs in the rear. They are about 2" taller unloaded and its more difficult to install spacers. I did it with out a compressor but it took 2 of us and a few breaker bars to squeeze it into place. It was not the safest way by far but did the job. I would add the spacers and crank some more on the keys, you will really enjoy the extra height!

Kansas, Rock Chalk!!!
I don't have them installed anymore. I bought stock replacement yukon springs for non autoride vehicles, off rockauto.com to try and soften up my ride a bit, it did help a lil. I hardly rub at all still, just every once in awhile when I turn up a big incline. I agree, I would like the extra height, but my truck has been riding too damn rough ever since I put it up in the air a bit with my 33's. Still isn't the best, but I'm out of options at this point and tired of spending money and trying different things. I might evenutally get a spring compressor and put them in, but who knows...

Yep only $150.00 and it wasnt hard just time consuming.
