    hey guys so i have a couple questions about my lift( probably have seen these question a bunch before) but anyways my front end sits pretty high to where the upper arms are at a little Arch like they could be under some stress maybe?? Instead where the upper arm should be completely leveled out ? This is what I have for the front and all parts are brand new If that helps at all ?
    -camburg Uniball upper arms
    - 4" lift max trac spindels
    - Kings
    Let me know if it's ok or normal to have it a little arched or if there's a way to set the pre load lower or something? Or is it fine the way it is ?

    My other question is I have 2" blocks on the rear (it came with the Maxtrac kit with the 5100 shocks in the rear) and was wondering if there bad to run for off roading and how it limits my off roading ability? Here are some pics on how it sits and how the upper arms sit and these photos were on Saturday so there recent.

    naw no need to level out the UCA, you got plenty of droop still and thats all that matters.

    As far as the blocks in the rear, they are not ideal.... Id rather see a full leaf pack back there to reduce axle warp and get you a proper lift. (maybe with some 12in kings and a bamf relocation bracket)

    Are the spindles alone giving you all that lift up front? Looks pretty high

    @nd4spdbh hell yea thank for you telling me that about my UCA and for the rear I'll change that once I have the money to play with again and I'll definitely look into what you told me to do for it. And @ChadsPride yes most of the lift in the front is from the spindels and I also herd that the Kings come out of the box with a 1" lift ?

    Fraiser has some sweet trails, you can go from hungry valley (gorman) at ~ 3300-3500ft to the peak at 8000ft above sealavel in ~ 4.5 miles

    Here is one of the trails from up there. at 6:20 gets fun!
