If you find out lmk. I asked them about it when I ordered mine, and they said they couldn't. Cause they would need a jig to hold it in place, and for 1 set, it wasn't worth it, or woulda cost too much. . Uppers require two pieces to be welded together on sides. Check Spohns uppers out. Not saying you couldn't bend the bar. But how Spohn does it makes sense. Doesn't look hard, just about lining everything up correctly. Have thought about doing it myself or locally. But uppers are solid bar, not like lowers. So they don't flex the same. But would like to have the adjustability to re-center axle.

I've seen the difference in stockers and Spohn and thought the same thing. I planned on calling them in the spring once I get some tax money. If it's going to cost an arm and leg I have a buddy with a welder I could probably bribe to help. Either way I'll let you know.

i was gonna go that route a while back, but never did lol..i had the order ready but never finished it..the stock lowers will be fine for me. Im gonna have the maint. dept box them in for me, so that should firm them up i would imagine.

Swapped my esky wheels on for the winter, and the swaying 99% went away..i think that means I may have a slightly bent wheel/tire problem..looks like the 24s may be getting sold in the spring for whatever I can get..i actually enjoyed driving the truck last night with the smaller, lighter wheels and tires..i forgot how nice it rode with a quality tire with some sidewall lol..probably find some nice stock 20s and just roll that if i plan on keeping it. Was gonna buy a 2014 silverado, but student loans and thinking about a house put that on hold for a while..

Same thing happened to me when I took the 22s off. I'm not so sure it's a bent wheel tho. I think it's more worn parts and big wheels that cause it. Plus road quality, tread width, unsprung weight blah blah blah.

ya its hard to say..all i know is that its a completely different vehicle now lol..for the last 4 years ive been on some old ass heavy load range tires i got for free, or my 24s..the tires that are on the esky 18s are actually a good quality tire..it rides and drives like it should now..im gonna have a hard time putting them back on in the spring..i have my reg cab to mess with now, so maybe ill keep this more daily friendly with some stock 20s or something..hell maybe just leave the 18s on..debating if I should even waste my time with swapping the new lowers in..
