    everything looks good. did you tighten up your control arms while the truck was on the ground and not at full drop?

    you should have tightened them at full load. loosen and tighten them while the truck is on the ground and recheck measurement

    I have a similar issue but not the same. The hole that the bolt goes through it's bigger then the bolt and there is some play. Definitely notice it when breaking

    Did you buy your spindles new? If so, how long ago? Seems odd you would have space.

    So I know this has been hammered a bunch throughout this thread but I just want a definitive answer before I have the whole front end ripped apart... I'm going to be running the 4" spindles with stock shocks for now with no other lift up front, do I need to buy extended brake lines?

    Ok guys I'm am the winner of the fucktard award today!!

    Just went out and measured again and it settled to 26"! I pulled it out of the garage, and parked it on the approach then took measurements. Just enough to test brakes. Waiting on spacers since my back spacing is 5 so I don't wanna drive it. So all is good thanks for everyone's help.

    You are correct I should have known that since I watched a YouTube video of them installing them with 2.5" spacers. My bad.
