[QUOTE="UNBROKEN, post: 1268376, member: 24"] Finally got my PMF dual stabilizer kit with Fox 2.0's on as well as Hellwig front and rear swaybars and Fox Factory 2.5 shocks. I've spent about a week driving it to try to get a good feel for the differences. The swaybars and stabilizer kit went on easy as can be...zero issues and both made noticeable differences. The steering wheel doesn't jump around when I hit bumps as bad and the bigger bars made a world of difference on curves. I've had Hellwig bars on every truck I've ever owned...they're some of the best money you can spend IMHO. The Fox 2.5 front shocks also went on super easy. The rears...well those were a pain in the ass but only because the reservoir on the passenger side was clocked wrong. I installed everything on a Sunday so there was nobody to call for info but looking at them there's a lock ring that tightens the reservoir to the body and common sense says if you loosen it you should be able to move things around. I just wasn't willing to gamble on it without knowing for sure so I installed it backwards and called them on Monday, they confirmed what I thought so I used a small punch and hammer to loosen the ring, spun the reservoir to where it should have been and all is good. I didn't have a spanner wrench so I went the old punch route. To be honest...I'm amazed at these shocks and couldn't be happier. I drive the same route every day to work and back so I have the bad spots, potholes, etc memorized pretty well. The rough spots where the ass end used to try to jump out sideways...it just floats over those now. I hit some potholes on purpose and they're just not as bad as they were before. All in all every single thing with road manners are better. It just feels more planted and stable no matter what I drive over. I guess that's enough babbling...on to some crappy pics.

Unfortunately the only ones I had were one size to big and just barely tightened up. I have the right size clamps on the way now.
