    Finally got my front back to normal you can say. before when i had the lift its almost been a year i had them set at the top setting on the shock. this is why my CV axles and UCAs was at that steep of angles. so i took it to a local tire shop and the guy helped me put them back down to the stock setting and what a difference!!! Also just got it aligned yesterday at a local alignment shop. the truck drives so much better now. I'll try to get some pics up tmrw now the shackles are installed.

    Heres the pics as of 8/15/13:

    Truck looks great! Can't go wrong with red ever. What kind of height difference did you get the shackles?

    3" lift EIBACH coils w/ 5100's front, OME/ Dakar leaf springs w/ toytec adjustable shackles at 1.5" and 5125's out back. 33x10.5x15 KM2's Relentless DIY steel bumper.
    That looks awesome! The before pics compared to the pics from today really show how much the rear was sagging due to all the weight of the topper and spare. After the shackles now you have a slight rake, which is ideal IMO. Keep up the sweet build.

    Also, I'm glad you got the Bilsteins down to the stock height setting. I bet the ride was ROUGH when you had them on the top notch with the EIBACH coils. How long did you ride it like that?
