Re: Skyjacker install issue.
The thing about the Skyjacker springs is that they are 2-1/2" wide (I believe) the entire length of the spring. The original springs were 2-1/2" at the middle and tapered out to 3" wide at the ends. The difference in width on the Skyjacker springs is made up by the new poly bushings, so if I were to cut down the bushing sleeve to the width of the spring (2-1/2") I would for sure be in a world-of-hurt. Now with that said, I think I will trim the bushing sleeves just long enough to fit between the spring mounts. The driver side is a little tighter for some reason, but I don't think I'm going to try to expand the mount at all (with the porta-power). I'll just cut each sleeve down to the exact width to fit between the mount.
