i got the 2/3 ground force lowering kit with 2" drop keys and 3" coils. put the coils and shocks on the back today and my 26s are rubbing the control arm or whatever on the passenger side, what should i do? go with about 1" spacers on the back? And maybe the front later on if i lower it.

You could always buy an adjustable panhard bar to center the rear end. Spohn makes one.

Adjustable panhard bar will re-center the axle. When you drop or raise the truck the panhard geometry is off & causes an axle shift.

his tires got sucked to far forward like they all do when you lower. He will need to get the trailing arm kit to move them back and he will be fine.

Well I used a grinder and trimmed a few things down this morning. I think it's good for now.

Ah......looks familiar. You're gonna have to run thinner tires. I run 285/40/24's and it's still REAL tight. I also have an adjustable pan which helps but it's still REAL tight when I am aired our to like 40psi. The next step is the Spohn adjustable LTA/UTA to center the axle in the wheel well. Mine is more like a 7'' drop in the rear though so you might want to get the trailing arm relocators if you don't have them, probably the least expensive place to start

So even with the the trailing arm relocators it'll still rub?
