Mine did.Originally Posted by torreyc
Same here. I don't remember having all of this trouble.
as a friend of mine Ray says... Great day
this thread will never end until Hellwig fixes the issue
Got home yesterday and Hellwig sent me new shorter bolts and spacers for the tie ends. Going to redo the install on Friday night. I will post pics of how it turns out.
Got mine yesterday as well. I changed out my 02's and fuel filter, taking a roadtrip to Las Vegas, driving as we speak...hopefully my mileage gets better. Once I return, I'll install mine.

I also had to use shorter bolts to get mine parallel.Also the brackets that bolt to the frame.Mine kept moving and caused the end link bolts to keep snapping.Welded the brackets to the frame,problem solved
yep I had the same issue with the endlink length. My truck was extremely low though, I ended up ditching the spacer all together, so it was only bushings and washers and the bolt lol. Worked great while I had it.

Since looking into suspension for my truck, I've discovered I've already got two inch lowering shackles. I received a new bolt kit from Hotchkis, but I may end up bolting straight to the mounting hardware as well and just leaving out the spacer. I'll see once I get under the truck and finally do the hardware swap.
we flipped the sway bar to the front,, and had to shorten the end links,,, on a 2/4 drop,,,, works excellent... p.s. instructions=trash
