    Just got them installed. I'm getting ~26" from hub to fender. Which is strange because I'm only at 13 threads passenger and 15 driver. I'm about to go and try to lower it some to get just above 24" to account for settling.

    So I adjusted driver side to around ~12-13" of thread. No difference at all. Still at 26" of lift hub to fender. I can't understand how some of you have ~11 threads and 2.5 " of lift? I need some help!

    I have. I drove around a Parking lot after every adjustment. I then drove 15 min home because I'd had enough of messing with it. Which one is the through bolt? I took the uniball apart twice to get to the set screw and holes to adjust. I never loosened the bolt that goes through the bushings. But I did move it up and down with my hand after taking the ball apart.

    I just can see why that would make me sit ~2" higher than my last setup.

    The other potential is your lower control arm bushings may b seized!

    Yeah it's squattin for sure. I probably have ~5" of lift up front. I have ~12-13 threads on each side. I just loosened the through bolts and bounced the front end. No change.
