Has anyone used just the lower spacers to level your truck? Seems like it would easier to install vs the upper pucks. Doesn’t seem like many places are selling just the lowers, I’d assume the ride would be the same from pucks vs the lower spacers.

Unless you are using a coil spring compressor during the install, you will still have to remove the lower control arms. Unbolting the lower shock bolts alone will not give you enough space (in my experience) to simply add those shims between the shock and control arm.

Looks like you also have to beat out the factory studs in the strut to replace them with the longer bolts in the kit. I had to do this with my rough country kit and it was a pita.

Removed the entire strut, put my foot on the spring and smacked them with a bfh. Took about 5-10 mins for each stud.

So do you really need to disconnect the LCA (if you don't compress the spring) to install the 1" level kit regardless if it's upper spacer or lower spacer or both?
