    Only happens full droop? Like only when you put it on a lift? Or are you going full send?

    I wouldn't worry about it then unless you are jumping shopping carts in the Wal-Mart parking lot.

    Kidding. The spindles are a cast part. Although they are milled correctly the outside could be a little heavy or could have some extra slag on that corner from the casting process. That's why I suggested the grinding part.

    So you can feel it when driving? It might just be a heavy wheel/tire combo I dunno. Not hating at all, I like your truck a lot.

    Also, stock bump stops?

    I don’t feel it while driving I just notice when I lift it on a car lift it hits both sides a little. Normal driving is fine. Yes stock bumps stops. But thanks I appreciate it yes they may be heavy but not sure if that’s causing it.

    Upgrade those bumps. Seriously worth the coin and you don't have to get high dollar ones.

    They are in my humble opinion way too inferior for your beefier suspension setup.

    I can only assume it would. I hear great things about wheeler's super bumps. I run Timbrens but they are $$

    It's the Bilsteins. They have a little more travel than most shocks. Turn your upper ball joint so that the SPC faces strait out instead at the angle you have it at and have the ball joint to the all the way out position. If this persists, I might suggest rotating the springs so that the spindle lands in between the coils. If anything I said doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll clarify.

    Thank you, I will look into them. Any idea if I need to upgrade my rear bumps? They’re stock as well. Running OME Dakar’s and a one inch block with the extended 5100s..

    Would turning the ball joint affect the alignment?

    Yes, you'll have to get another alignment

    I think I am following I'll need to adjust the caster setting.. but to what setting would you say is best? I know how to do the camber one easily just not the caster.

    Camber setting on UCAs, all the way out toward the wheel. Caster setting on the UCAs, spc emblem facing out toward the wheels.

    So do the outer tie rod ends get flipped upside down when installing these?
