Funny how just adding a level and tires makes them look like a real truck ... you have opened a whole can of worms now though, you are now hooked and will never be able to stop lifting it , ahahahahaha.

No rubbing issues yet. I may have a little during full steer while offroading, but it should only be minor!!!!

Thnx for those numbers savage!!!!! As for the steering knuckles, i had to disconnect them from the rotors because they were holding up the drop. I didn't need the spring compressors for the drivers side, but i did for the passengers side. I could not for the life of me, get the track bar disconnected. That bolt was in there GOOD!!!!! That wouldn't allow the passengers side to drop low enough to get the longer spring in!!!!

I do plan on lifting her higher, but that won't be until after the warranty is gone!!!!

I think I am following you... you disconnected the steeringlink that runs from the pitman arm to the steering knuckle. I can't remember for some reason what this link is called, maybe a drag link?

The track bar is definitely on there... I think it is like 120ft lbs but I'd have to look it up to know for sure.

....crap, i just reread your post, and I am still lost on what you removed?..sorry

Its the tie rod ends where they connect to the steering knuckles. Sry, i shoulda said that first!!!!!
I never got the track bar disconnected, the bolt was just to tight. Thats why i needed the spring compressor for the passengers side.

while I was checking the tie-rod I just glanced at the track bar (even though you don't need it) it was 150 ft lbs!!... not as much as the pitman arm to sector shaft nut that you have to do to get a new pitman arm on for some of the bigger lifts... 225 ft lbs, that one was pretty brutal, I couldn't get the pitman arm off of my truck for nothing!!
