That was for the post where guy said any lower in rear it would look lower then front. The kit is adjustable 2 to 3 in front so that's why I include the rear spacer. My main concern is ride quality which this kit does a great job at

Yes the kit rides great. Front drop was as advertised. If I would have bought the kit and running a shorter tire wanting a true 6" rear drop, I would be severely disappointed. Unless it's gonna drop another 1-5/8" when they settle. But I have 110 miles on the kit and the fender measurements are identical to what I started with.

Springs sag over time also on oem. The truck on this forum tested on was 32k miles and 285 45 22 38.75 after spring kit 33 1/8 this,was years ago. I then gave others who buy springs and they replace what they have and are very happy with ride.

Springs vary on back of these trucks from factory not all sit the same.

I'll have to look into making another spring but as it is wuth my springs in the panhard bar is very close to hitting upper crossmember in rear

Yeah I love the height it's at for my setup. I wouldn't want it much lower as id have rubbing issues and with it being the wife's, don't want that.

Thinking about DJM ucas cause that balljoint doesn't looks super happy

I have 1200-1500 miles on mine. It will settle some, not enough or me to want to put the spacer in. Im on 275/45-22, front rubs a bit, rear only when loaded. I do seem to sit a touch lower though

Looks Great! I may still go this route with our '05 after I'm tired of having it leveled

Looks great, what size and type wheels/tires? Looks like a setup I'd like to do?
Fosscore already has me convinced on the 3/5-6 drop....

Love the way it looks, really like that color clean and simple.

But I'm still a little confused as to why you didn't get more drop in the rear if you are using his 6" springs with no spacer. I had the same springs and was sitting at 32.25" before I cut them on my 04. After I cut them I was at 31.5"
