Thanks Tom. Make sense to me. So you would suggest I take the shop up on their offer to swap the 927s for the 790s, and add the top spacer plate?

yes, i would definately take that deal. You will not be disappointed..

No, he's not charging me. He remembered our discussions of what I wanted, and agreed he ordered the wrong springs.

But I have some bump stops that need to be installed.

Bump stops are simple to install some use shovels, some 2X4s some screwdrivers, some jacks , me hammer

and then a bigger hammer

and popped them up in

Just grab it, put the back part in first, and pull it up with some force. Takes a few tries. No tools needed, just your hands!

Yeah really I didn't use a big hammer but I did use some...... well some really slipperly stuff that worked really great. Not its intended purpose but :oops:

The front stops look easy. I might need help with the rear ones. Going to give it a go this w/e.

Getting back on thread... I installed some Teraflex front bump stops, and some Daystar rear bumpstops. Have two sets of 1/4" strut spacers for the shop to install, and they have ordered the new springs. Just waiting now...

Also relocated my washer fluid bottle.
