Default leveling kit installed

hey guys, installed my leveling kit two weeks ago today. truck sits nicely now and it wasn't bad installing it since I replaced some bolts and antiseized everything when I replaced my struts in August. just got around to getting my alignment fixed and I had some positive camber on the passenger side and some toe adjustments. installation was pretty much done by me but my buddy needed to help me pry the control arms together. we were using three pry bars at once and dropped the lower arm onto a 2x4 to help things get together... I haven't taken any pics for the most part but here are some. I can add more later. The truck is covered in salt and **** so I don't take a lot of winter pics. I need to add an inch to the rear axle though, I have reverse rake now!

C'mon dudes, I uploaded pics for you and you're going to let the thread die without looking at them?

It's the weekend, and usually damn slow around here.

I'm not seeing reverse rake in those pics, it's looking pretty level there. I guess you're a fan of the rake._rake__by_LeoLeonardo.gif
