If it's Chassis Tech, research their pricing elsewhere (and their customer reviews). I canceled my order because I could get the Chassis Tech product elsewhere for cheaper yet POL (Western Chassis' daddy) maintained the same pricing as their WC brand.

Seemed to me like a 'Bait & Switch' tactic that I didn't care for so it cost them that sale (& possibly my business in the future).

ok this is what ive come up with... i looked up Chassis Tech spindles and could not find any for my truck on THEIR website.... sooo i looked up the Western Chassis spindles on summit, found the ones that fit my truck and they were $462... thats to much so I kept looking and found the same ones on another website for way cheaper.. only $300

In a nutshell.....

Secure vehicle on jack stands & verify you're safe to get under the truck (push test).
Remove the wheel, disconnect the shock & leaf spring by removing their hardware. (Do one side @ a time. Use a jack to raise/lower & hold-up the rear-end housing as needed).
Knock the rivets of the factory hangers off/out.
Align the new hangers w/the holes in the frame rails & install w/the new hardware.
Re-install the leaf pack & shock. Loosely snug the hardware for the leaf/shackle bushings but don't tighten them to spec.
Re-install wheel.

Repeat for the opposite side.

Once both sides are completed, set the truck back on the ground so the full weight is on the suspension. Tighten the leaf/shackle bushings hardware to spec.
