Just curious why you went with the drop spindles up front instead of the drop struts? (Please forgive my ignorance here...I'm not well versed in suspension/lowering yet). Do the drop spindles provide a better ride than drop struts?

Yes spindles proved a better ride than drop struts as well as keep everything in factory locations.

Shortened the links that come with the kit today. I shortened them about a 1/4 inch. Before, I was sitting about an inch higher with the rear spacers out. So I trimmed the links and now it sits about 1/2 to 3/4 lower after letting the air out and air back up

Beautiful ride. Just the right mods!

Looks sick! I like that you stuck with 22". Little more sidewall seems better in my mind for a daily. I was worried about 24" but your photos confirm I won't need them and the wife will be happier too...

In the first pics you posted, were you running the rear spring spacers? If not did you do the free travel mod?

The rear spacers were out. What's the free travel mod?

Free travel mod is where you cut the factory bumpstop bracket off the frame rails so that the axle doesn't bottom out on the frame.
