The kit so far has been amazing, the ride and handling are excellent. Especially loaded down. I still have the sway bar disconnected seeing is was binding too much went i reattached it. It sits close to 3” without rubbing or binding issues and when in 4auto or lock there’s no noise from the CV’s either.

I have been on multiple 400+ mile road trips and off-roading and I do say I’m impressed. The rear is next for arms and remote reservoirs that’ll change the whole truck as a package.

When I went with Z-71 springs and 2” spacer my factory roll bar wasn’t happy back there. It does make a bit of noise.

Really enjoying following the build thread. Looking great, and I BET it’s feeling pretty good too. Very fun to drive…

I have 4” lift and originally the OE MRCs up front and rear, but Fox coil overs now. I do have a tough time with tight turns in 4hi and auto.
Would you suggest removing the front sway bar?

thank you, the truck still feels pretty stable and rides I think better without the front sway bar attached, I have the rear factory one installed still with no issues so far. I also have cognito front links I haven’t tried out yet to see the difference driving.

Can you measure the amount of shaft showing when they are fully extended?
Also the length from mounting bearing to mount bearing (fully extended length?)!!

The length of shaft showing is about 8-3/8” and total overall from center on center is about 24-7/8” fully extended. These are for up to 1.5” lift, I’m putting a 1” shock extender to fit these properly.
