Good luck! My TF LK was my first suspension work/install as well. Getting the rear pucks to seat was a pain, but all went well. Enjoy!

My Trailblazer had struts. They called it the giant spring of death and dismemberment. Luckily, we don't have struts. I just wanted to type giant spring of death and dismemberment.

Nothin to worry about, just spray some silicone or wd40 on the top of the rear spacers. They push up through the hole above where the springs seat. I actually got it all lined up and then used the jack to lower the jeep and the rear axle pushed the spring, pushing the puck into place. You will hear a pop and you are all set.

I used the 'one corner at a time method' listed on another thread. You can leave the wheels on save yourself some time.

So I installed the kit today. Or at least the front ones. Btw I drove without the aways connect to home depot and it was so much fun. U can't feel any bump curb or a thing on the road. I almost didn't want to connect the after market ones that came with the kit lol.
Anyways, I tried to just do what the instructions an released the rear shock and lifted the car but the wheel goes up with it.. Do I need to release the rear sways also...?
Thanks ahead!!
