    Okay so I put new cv axles in, now if I make a right hand turn with any speed, I hear a popping noise. I assume it is the knuckles in the CV axle popping. Any thoughts? Oh and I do have a 1" diff drop installed. The vibration is now gone since the alignment, now the popping has begun. Didn't here that before the new axles.

    Here is what I put in: OME 881 coils with Bilstein 5100's set at the middle setting. Should have given me close to 3" of lift from what I was told. OME 881 should have given me 1.75" to 2" and middle setting gives me 1". My passenger side is 3/4" higher than the drivers side.

    One thought is to bring down the passenger side on the lowest setting (dropping an inch) and add a 1/4" spacer to level it. I don't know of anyone who has ever ran the 5100's at two different levels, so does anyone see any problem with that?

    Here are the pictures.

    Looks like its too much lift. It could be the CVs poping because the angle on them, but not sure.
