    It took about 4 hours to do the rear and 4 hours to do the front. It was a long night! No worries, I hope everything is alright!

    Lookin good. Do you need an alignment after installing the spring seats? I am guessing no but just curious.

    I got one because in order to install them I needed to loosen the cam bolts. Plus I put on Total Chaos upper control arms. I also had my caster bumped up to help to give me even more clearance.

    Edit:
    Gained 1" up front and 2.75" in the back

    What's your caster at now? Truk looks rad with the new bump in height :D

    So I got an Alignment on saturday and They bummped it almost all the way to 5* for me. I asked them if they thought that was too far, he said I shouldn't notice much of a difference even though that appears really high.

    I have a significantly more clearance behind my tires on flat ground now.

    I removed my Sway bar when I did the install last friday and wheelied on Sunday. Let me tell you it made a huge difference offroad and hardly changed anything on road. I will definitely be leaving it off!

    Been wondering about this for a while, just worried about handling on road :eek: might have to do that if warm weather comes our way or Chi-town 4x4 has another wrench night soon

    There are some on road differences, but nothing crazy. I have definitely pushed a couple of corners just to see and it is just added body roll. You will notice it, but it doesn't feel dangerous. I think it would only make a difference in the event you I needed to swerve very quickly at speed.



    I will get my alignment numbers for you tomorrow.
