pay the 250 ,i have installed them twice ,,250 is a great price ,,doing it on your driveway is a nut buster ,,plus you will need to heat up one end to get rubber bushing out ,,if you dont have a torch you would have to buy one ,,,

probably better off hiring someone! having the right tools is optimal .

I should have all the tools, torch and hand tools. So that should not be a problem, the only thing I am woried about is the adjustments so it works the right way.

I am thinking of ordering it and looking at the instructions if I think I need help I might have you do it. Calvert who makes th caltracs gave me that quote $250 but I would have to drive out there to install them. Have you installed them in your truck?

I installed them in my truck...Its pretty straight forward not hard it took me around 4hrs to do both in my driveway and I didnt have a torch so I took the leafspring to a near muffler shop had them burn old rubber bushing out with a torch and press in the new one supplied(cost was $30 bucks for both leafprings labor) and 1/2 hour at the shop so around 4 1/2 hours total

How difficult was it to adjust it to where it worked the best?

Not difficult at all...once you have it all apart it will be easier to see the Big Picture and just follow the step by step instructions on the manual it also has a recommended setting you might just want to go with that one
