great info and tips. looks like from the pics you've had a rainy day like we've had down here in h-town. when it drys out, i'll be on the lookout for your performance review of the combo (as i've read everyone else who's already done this).

Are you coming up for the M&G on the 9th? We can go for a ride. It's like owning a different car it's that much better.

i'm planning on making it.

have you lowered the car at all?

I wanted it lowered just a little so I split the difference between the min and max settings on the shocks. Right now I like how it sits but it might settle a little more. I don't want to drive it like I do my Vette where I have to be careful of every road that is not perfectly level.

Here's how it's sitting right now (and yes, lots of rain started since Thrusday)

Handy info for the DIY'er out there! Nicely done. Hope it dries out before June 9!!!!

Rob, driving his car will give you the best comparison to your ride. Completely stock (including wheels) vs KW/Hotchkis on stock SRT wheels. You'll be amazed at the difference!

Richard-
Great info! I wish I had this before I did my install. I wrestled with those spring compressors until I was exhausted.
With the info you posted on the front removal and the instructions I read earlier on the rear removal of the center diff, I need to do it all over and update my "How To" post!

Thanks!

Jay
