[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 3190045, member: 7248"] It is a piece of cake. Probably took me 15 minutes and 5 of that was putting it on the car lift. Just get the loaner tool from Oriellys. [URL]https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/b/evertough-4771/tools---equipment-16488/rental-tools-16837/rental-tools--ball-joints-20502/d54493ee5b68/rental-tools-evertough-gm-torsion-bar-tool/67012/4700237/2017/chevrolet/silverado-2500-hd?q=Loaner&pos=9[/URL] The lift keys were $32 on eBay. These say through 2016, but the 2500hds chevys use the same keys through the 2019s.

I just bought the diff drop spacers. It looks easy to install as well. It will help reduce the CV angles. I really don’t think the angles are an issue, but it will be cheap insurance to reduce excessive wear from the higher angles from the lift.
