All done, got an alignment set up for tomorrow at 9am. Other than camber though, it drives perfectly straight. I love this kit, perfect match with the 22s. Rides almost stock, VERY minor scrubbing in the rear (where the inner fenders jut out for hardware clearance) and it handles like it's on rails with the Belltech sway bars.

I actually didn't use the drop keys, I just took the bolts out with the stock keys, used the supplied 1" spacer and used the stock isolators. I'm going to pull the isolators at a later date though because the rear could stand to come down another 1/4" or so IMO.

To recap, 2/3 Belltech using decranked stock keys, Belltech rear springs/shock relocators/bumpstops, Belltech SP shocks, Belltech front and rear sway bars, 22x9 GMC 22s with 285/40/22 Toyo Proxes STs.

What are your fender measurements?
When I first measured, with just a touch over 1/8 tank of fuel
LF.....RF
LR....RR

33 3/4....34
34 1/8....34 1/8

About 9/16" rake measured at the bodyline since the fenders aren't even height wise to the bodyline

Wasn't happy with that at all, especially the camber that the LF was showing. Put the left torsion key bolt back in and cranked it 4 turns. Still with an 1/8 tank of fuel. Still a little off but better once you factor in full fuel weight plus me.

34 3/8....34 1/8
34 3/8....34

About 5/8" rake measured at the bodyline

Are your tires 40 series or 45? Look like 45 to me but just double checking

45s. Had a brain fart lol. Edited my post.

Went and filled up, am happy with my measurements now, no new adjustments. Have about 3/8 of an inch of rake. Gonna leave it and see how I like it, might pull out one of the isolators if I wanna get it closer to level but we'll see.

Absolutely loving how this thing handles. Took it to Kroger to fill up along some curvy back roads and it's awesome. Highly recommend sway bars to anybody, lowered or not

Mine is lowered 2/3 with 275-55-20 tires and I'm 33.75 in front and 34.5 in rear. I love the way mine sits and handles. I have belltech spindles in front and mcgaughy springs in rear. Also have Belltech swaybars. Why would you have rubbing in the rear?
