Will Cowboys lift kit work on the front springs of the 300?

Yes, and it's super easy to do.

If you have a trailer with a military style Pintle hitch it makes it so much easier than doing it by hand. If you have this kinda trailer I can explain how to do it.

I don't see why it would not, all the parts are the same. I think it would work the same.

Yes, you can use the spacers in the rear. I used 3/8" spacers in the rear and put 500 springs on the front. It raised mine a little over an inch and the handling improved.

Well I added my spring spacers this afternoon. In the rear I added 2 pieces of a mud flap and got about a 9/16 spacer. It raised my ground clearence 1 1/4" in the rear. In the front i only used 1/4" spacer and picked up a 1/2" of ground clearence. It was getting late when i did my test drive so i didnt ride very long but i did notice more response in the steering. To compress the springs i had to be different so i used a rachet tie down strap for that. All in all i think it was a good thing. Thanks to every one for the help.
