Well after having my warrior 153's for almost a year I finally decided to put them in over this past weekend! For the most part it was fairly easy except for the upper bolt on the drivers side. That one bolt took me nearly 2 hours to get out! The install of the new shackles took all of 5 minutes on each side! I must say that it seams that the truck actually rides better than it did before! I got just under 2 inches on the TT and the same with the shackles. It defiantly looks like someone had messed with the bolts before as they were not even and neither was my measurements before I started the TT. Overall I am extremely happy with the way it looks and the way it handles!!! Even my wife likes the way it rides now. But it's nothing compared to her Altima SE-R!!!! Thanks for everyones help and all the great write ups on here!!! I attached a before and after. The before pic is from a year ago.

Now stick some wider tires on there to fill those wheel wells!
 






I have a set of 31's with studds up at my house in Maine I will be putting on it when I get up to Maine next week. I work in the woods during the winter and my current tires would barely get me down a paved road never mind a road packed with snow and ice! Hopefully I can do the body lift in the spring and put a nice set of 32 A/T's on her for the summer!!!
