Do I need new fasteners or hardware to install this?

The kit uses your truck's factory coil spring bolts. Verify bolt condition before assembly; if they're worn or damaged, sourcing replacements separately will be necessary.

Will this affect my truck's ride or handling?

A 2.5" spacer kit maintains factory suspension geometry and spring rate, so ride quality and handling stay close to stock. You may notice a slightly stiffer feel up front due to altered spring preload—this levels out after break-in.

Can I install this myself with basic tools?

Yes. The job requires jack stands, basic wrenches, and a coil spring compressor to safely remove and reinstall your front coils. If you've done suspension work before, plan 2–4 hours per side. First time, allow extra time and consider a second set of hands.
