Man they look so good so many brands and options for the rear what is the max lift these will accommodate I know the apoc industries will accommodate up to a 6 inch lift

Should lightly oil the bushings before fitting in place. Less likely to snag and scrape the bushing face. Also, paint a witness mark on any torqued bolts, makes periodic inspection easier.

Is there a rough adjustment length over stock you should do for the upper and lower trailing arms based off of rear lift spring height? I lifted my rear end 2” and I wanted a good ball park for length change before I took it in for alignment.

Did get the leather seat bottoms replaced, coverlay dash with a suede cover on top of that, the Phoenix Tesla style 10.3 screen, LED lights, bug guard, Replaced wheels with redone originals, bull bar with 20in light bar and repainted it completely same color blizzard pearl. Looks almost new and very happy. But very small things every few months.

bah! I'm literally looking for a video that shows the install of the spring. I bought this stage 3 kit from metal tech with the springs and they don't seem to fit on the isolators. I'm trying to figure out if they need to be forced on with tons of pressure? Or if something is off? Other videos of other kits seem that the springs slip right over the isolators without any crazy pressure needed and that is not my experience with the metal tech. All the videos on KZbin seem to just skip right over this portion of the install...
