Grade 8 bolt from local hardware store, 9/16" if I remember right, but don't hold me to it, by however long u want it. Like said, easy fix but annoying. Relocation brackets aren't holding you up from being lower. Did you move over your sway bar so it clears panhard bracket? hard to tell from pics. Could be your air shocks holding u up tho. but Idk, never dealt with air shocks on my ride, so others will know more. Why not do rear lowering shocks while doing everything else? I run lowering shocks so don't use shock extenders, no issues. but having stock shocks could be issue. Again, others probably know more about it. Good luck with it bro, does look better being lower.

Thanks man,really appreciate that... They just delivered it from alignment shop...boy is it nice!

So heres what i got...lil bouncy in rear and "YES" I did take them airshocks out. Putting the BT SP's in did nothing for the drop. Some guys said take the trailing arm brakets out since I do have the full UCA,LCA and panhard kit. I'll have to do some trial and error over the next week to see what is up. My front is sitting sweet. A stellar 32''! I GOTTA GET THAT ASS DOWN NOW!

I installed the relocation brackets when I had stock LCA because it was rubbing on frame from being so low. Brackets fixed that issue by putting the arm lower, but once I installed adjustable LCA that also would have fixed it. Do you "need" the brackets? NO I don't think so. Even with stock arms, they don't move axle back any, they just put the lower arm in the "correct", more parallel postition to ground. But... that is a better position and angle being parallal with ground and frame then being angled up. But does nothing about uppers at an angle?? so... Just my opinion, on having them w/ stock lowers, and w/ adjustable lowers, on and off. So, do you need the relocation brackets since you have adjustable arms? Probably not. But they aren't hurting anything by being on, can only help, and they don't affect how high or low the vehicle sits anyways. My opinion would be to just keep em on, but your ride, and mess around with it to see what you like. But they aren't gonna make it feel any better, ride lower or anything like that being off. I tried, and didn't change anything but the lower arm being at a big upward angle. You'll get it dialed in bro.
Even when finished your never done. haha

Truth. I've had my setup for about 4 or 5 months and I'm still tweaking it and making little changes here and there. I thought I got everything I would need but I was wrong. There's a lot of trial and error to get it right. And... once it's finished, there's something else to get right, hahaha.

LOL, yep. There's your problem. Shift that sway bar over. Should drop you a bit and give you a better ride. Post pics too. I still need to do mine but it's not contacting yet.

LMAO, I mentioned that earlier.... I used to have mine moved over, but eventually just ground down panhard bracket to allow for up n down movement. I just wanted my sway bar as close to center as possible. Just have to move brackets over, and switch sides on links tho to get to clear. easy fix
