I did adjust them a little bit, yes. With that said, I was dropped for a few years before I sprung for the Spohn stuff. I say that to say take your time. The Spohn stuff is nice but not a requirement by any means. If you were going further down it might be a different story but 4-4.5" is still considered pretty mild.

:Handshake: That's mainly what I'm concerned with, just don't want to go ahead and do the drop only to find out my pinion angle is completely Fubar'd and have to put it all back the way it is now. I'll be doing it all at once and don't want the front 2" lower than the rear lol.

Was going to do the install this weekend but it's NMRA/NMCA weekend at the dragstrip so me and my dad are going up there tomorrow :pepper:

Panhard bar and new sway bar endlinks

Unfortunately the sway bar really does have to be relocated to the passenger side. The passenger side panhard bracket sat hard right on the sway bar

Finished the night off porting and polishing my new Belltech alignment cams. They didn’t freaking fit on the bolts!

Getting an alignment in the morning, MIGHT mod the rear sway bar if I have time, throw in the spare tire (to weight the rear down) and see if I like the rake. It’s sitting at ~27 1/8”-27 1/4” up front and ~28 in the rear. Not sure how I feel about the rake, may cut half a coil eventually

Thanks man. I guess I should clarify, that’s measured at the front (just behind the front tire) and rear (just in front of the rear tire) on the body line. The wheel wells aren’t even on these trucks so I don’t measure there
