    How much do you measure from the ground to the center of your front fender?

    Yeah - super simple! You have to take off the front skid plate to do it, but it takes all of about 5 minutes...

    It drops the differential down an inch, decreasing the CV joint angle. Which, without the diff drop and a 3" lift is almost too great.

    The way Chris4x4 put it to me was that he's seen people run months and some run a week or two. I had my lift set way too high (~4.5") for about a week before I adjusted them down and I was alright.

    If you want a better opinion, take a pic of your CV joints and post it. That way someone with more experience than me can give you a better feel.

    I just measured yesterday and I'm at 39" both left and right. This is with 265/75/16s. I figured it will probably settle another 0.25" to 0.50" inches. My rear is at 40" inches (TSB + AAL).

    Hey you know what I just noticed. It appears that my passenger side is about half an inch higher front and back then the driver side, lift wise. Is that normal?:confused::eek:
