None that I know of, I would shoot him a PM to double check. I've never heard of having to do anything but bolt them in.

OR...the WAYYYY cheaper route: Do what I did: Procomp Short AAL and Belltech 6400 shackle and stock 2.5" block. The truck is VERY level.

Doing it this way would run you a grand total of about $75....Compared to upwards of $500 or even more for the skyjackers. Just giving you a cheaper alternative to new leafs.

Order me some too! The skyjackers are nice but they are way to pricy IMO.

Save your money on that superlift shaft......you can build your own for about $200.....

Get a $50 junkyard shaft, get an adaptor for about $80-100, get it shortened for about $50-70...
