[QUOTE="Ryan C, post: 1571109, member: 37209"] I installed Deavers and SVC bumps a few weeks ago. Not exactly the same, but many lessons should be similar. I watched the Keep it Dirty videos on deaver spring and RPG bump installs. Lots of good tips there and I recommend you have a look. I bought and used high quality sawzall blades (Milwaukee Torch - Carbide tips) to cut the bolt at the front of the leafs where the gas tank is. I can't remember but I think I used two blades. I think this really saved some time compared to regular metal blades. I also had to grind off tabs on the axle for the SVC bumps. Not sure about the RPG bump pads. An angle grinder with flap discs helped make it all smooth. Really clean off threads on all bolts, which helps with removal quite a bit. I removed the spare and also the exhaust, which created more room to work underneath the truck. I did one spring at a time, which helped keep things from flopping around too much. Definitely get a hand from a buddy, as the springs are heavy. Impact wrenches will speed things up for you, but also make sure to torque everything properly ... with wheels on the ground. Finally, I sprayed everything with fluid film to keep rust at bay. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
