Re: CPP Grand Slam kit
I just finished the install of ECE's 4/6 kit. Here's some feedback:
- The parts seem good quality.
- The instructions for the rear are not detailed so you'll do some head scratching, including missing torque specs on a few nuts. ECE was responsive to my questions. The front instructions are great except for missing details about how to get the brakes back on or remove the bearings.
- There are lower front coils available by ECE then come in their standard 4/6 kit. The kit's front coils are 1.5" drop, but ECE has a 2" drop coil. After I learned this, I paid for the shipping to exchange them for the lower ones. I suggest contacting ECE off the bat and getting the 2" coils right away.
- I didn't need any extra parts except for some extra grease for the existing bearings. I didn't need break fluid. You may already have all the tools but I didn't. Bought 2 torque wrenches. You need to torque some of the nuts to 215ft-lbs. Also needed a bunch of little tools here and there like some large sockets, a grinder, larger wrenches, and probably another $75 in misc tools. I suspect both kits need this stuff.
Overall, I'm very happy and recommend ECE. I could do it again in 1/3rd the time, now that I'm familiar with the process and have the tools. I've not driven the truck since the install (just finished tonight), so no comments on the ride.
