at least watch the install video for Lucky8 on Youtube, i did the install in 4 hours by my self this weekend after watching it 2x. Good info.. spray up all your bolts the night before!!!
One thing i would suggest is when installing the front springs (passenger side) watch the front drive shaft on one of the cross members when you jack the axle down.

Oyster,
I sand blasted my wheels and than went in to a local paint shop and brought them the factory paint code and they matched it. I shot a thick primer for wheels and than painted them. I have not had a chip and the break dust wipes right off. I am pleased with the outcome.

The company mixed it in a Limco 2 automotive base paint and I used a fast reducer and fast hardener. 3 parts paint, 2 parts reducer, 1 part hardener. Didn't need a clear because the finish was nice and hard.

Re: Which Suspension kit Should I get for My D2
I got a great deal on some really nice 265/75R16 Tires today. I was already going to buy a OME kit next week for the truck..
Should I get the 2.5" OME kit or should I get the 3" kit to accommodate the slightly larger tires?
Here she is with her old worn out energy suspension and stock sized tires..

with the steering damper and shipping it was about mid 700's i think. The damper alone is 80 bucks but WELL WORTH IT!!!
