    Yup, mines still on my truck. I'll get around to building a new one one of these days.

    Truck looks good Phil. That bumper looks like it brought your front end down a tad bit!

    Doesn't seem like they touched anything in your rear.
    I believe it is within spec anyway.

    Isn't it supposed to be 2-3 degrees?

    Thanks. Yeah, my springs on the icons are too soft. I have a set of OME 886 springs at home, I just need to order some 5100s to put them on. I'm gonna ditch the icons because they are leaking and need a rebuild badly.

    I had 5100s and am on Nitrochargers on this truck. I prefer the Nitrochargers.

    The first reason is cost. The second reason is because this set up will be temporary until I make a decision on what route I go with my front end.

    There's nothing to adjust in the rear.

    Your setting should be as follows:

    Camber - 0 degrees (both sides)
    Toe - 0 degrees (both sides)
    Caster - 2.0 degrees or greater as long as they both match.

    The 1.5 degrees isn't horrible though. The camber and toe should definitely match though.

    I think it's just the design. With the big overhang on the side it makes it look lower. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

    It won't be great, that's for sure. The front end will be twitchy.

    There's nothing to adjust in the rear.

    Yup

    Pretty much the cost effective route Phil is talking about. I went with 5100's and an AAL and I'm using the stock coils for now.

    Hopefully the whole set up will change before the end of the year. Hell the rear end might change by next week if TW exoress works properly lol

    The lift is not bad but not ideal. And a hell of a lot different without the sway bar...
