Finally got around to installing the kit from Tony. Truck handles WAY better. Could be more firm, still significantly softer than my ML63 was. In my opinion you give up nothing going with the kit and gain a ton. Turns the floaty boaty feeling into something that inspires some confidence...enough that I now need stickier rubber :)

The truck also sits much better, the rear could be an inch lower IMO though.
Front Left (drivers) was 35 9/16” now 33 5/8”
Front Right was 35 5/8” now 33 ½”
Rear Left was 37 5/8” now 35 ¼”
Rear Right was 37 ¾” now 35 5/8”

And now for the crappy cell phone parking lot pic. I haven't yet fine tune the adjustment on the panhard bar to center the rear axle. Once I do, I'll shoot some real pictures.

with the panhard bar

Now I am starting to work on the dash interior for virtual gauges to get ready for some forced induction.

Thanks. I need to get it aligned still, lol. Actually tracks perfect and looks good with a wee bit of extra camber. Going to lay underneath her and adjust the panhard first. I've just been short on time.

Any thoughts on getting the rear down another .5-1". The plastic spacers are not in...

BACK IS easy to bring down

1) go to hardware store get a 10x24x2.5 inch long machine screw
2) cut off the head
3) replace the ones you have in the rear now
4) truck will come down

Thanks Tony.

Of course the threaded rods that came with the kit wouldn't screw in nice so they are JB Welded in place. Going to need to buy new ends. Not a big deal I suppose. If anyone knows the part numbers that'd be great.

Is it a linear lowering? ie, if I shorten the bolt by .5" is that what the truck will come down?

Front is perfect btw, just want to equalize it a notch. In a perfect world lower all around would be good, but this is my daily in Minnesnowta.

Also curious where you got the gauge holder Tony....I know where you got the gauge :)
