    Sweet, thanks for the tip. Once these are in the trucks going to live on the lift until i can finish the regear and locker install :D

    I’ve spent way to much money on the truck this month

    After you make any adjustments, its always best to roll the truck back and forth to settle the front end. Waiting 5 mins isn't going to solve the truck sitting high because of the tire scrub.

    You are right. I forgot to mention take the truck for a short drive. One thing I’ve noticed is after the shock completely drops and then I let it back down, I can have up to 0.75” of extra lift until the fluid in the shock and resi stabilizes...or at least that’s what I think would be cause the extra lift

    Just to be clear the resi bracket goes above the sway bar mount and against the frame?

    Or below mount for more clearance to clear hose and coils/ UCA ?

    My application required it went below the sway bar bracket, further from the frame.

    According to @M C M this is incorrect but it is how it worked for me. If you can, install it against the frame and then mount the sway bar adapter and sway bar.

    Did you reuse your sway bar bolts or use the provided bolts? They don’t seem to belong enough for sway bar bracket or spacer to fit with bracket?

    Oof, good question. I think I used the original bolts to mount the sway bar bracket to the frame then used the new bolts to mount the resi brackets.

    Could be wrong, it’s been a month.

    The extra lift is because of tire scrub. The suspension cycles in an arc, when you set it down, the friction of the tires are fighting against the suspension making it sit higher. This is why you need to roll the truck back and forth to settle it.

    If your toe is out, it can actually raise or lower the suspension as the wheels fight to be straight.

    All this is why alignments are done on floating turn tables.

Test drive was fine. Might come up a little bit on both sides but so far clears everything and much better cv angles. Not sure if i like The sway bar and might remove it later. Gotta grab a punch so i can Adjust them and might get an alignment but so far it tracks just like it did before.
