Yes just to reduce the angle, drives no different and you don't have to change the bushings. I put new ones in cause I needed the camber kit. And also yes on just pressing it out and installing from the other side. I bought new ball joints just in case and good thing I did case both boots had a hole in them.

Hoe looks sick btw love the SS look. Thanks for the info gotta do some front end work soon so possible debating doing this mod. little off topic but thinking about doing the djm LCA and ditching the lowering keys while im in there as well. idk yet.

+ 1 on tony 6 inch springs, i had a set of gray bell tech before rides great in the rear with his deff a good swap. Do some helper bags if you dont already have them. Whats the rear of your truck look like SS roll pan??

What is your tire size and what are your measurements from ground to bottom of fender lip? I just ordered some 6" springs from Tony, should be here this coming Tuesday. I'm hoping they'll ride better than the stock springs that I cut. :)

I'm at 32.25 in rear on a 285 45 22. Have helper bags as well. What are you at now with your cut springs and it will ride a lot better his spring is really nice piece.

Thank you for measuring.

It's hard to get a good measurement...my height fluctuates between 30.5-31" in the front and 31-32" in the rear. I'm riding on 255/45R18's all around.

This is nothing but good to hear. I can get as low as I want with a rotary grinder and stock springs, but at this point I'm looking for as much control and comfort as I can get.

285 45 22 32.1 tall and truck sits at 32.25
255 45 18 27 tall and your sitting at 31

putting my 6 inch springs on your truck with a 255 45 18 will put it down to 29

No problem we are all here to help and share info.

Do you have any pics of your truck. Sitting at 29 would be pretty low, I wonder what the wheel gab would look like.
