Yeah I think it lifted the front about 1.5" when I added the bilsteins

If you can clear everything and take the front down just a bit, it will prob save you some $$ in the long run.

Love the 22x11's way more then the other wheel combo. That looks like a cranked coil set up, look at them angles. What size differntial you have?

Looks sick. Reminds me a lot of my F-150. Kind of wish I still had it at times, mostly bc it would have been paid for. Lol.

As for the front, I'd drop it down .5". With 6" of lift you may rub some on the lower rear part of the front fender so I'd say run 6.5-7" of lift up front. Also maybe add another .5"-1" in the rear. It appears to be near 2" lower than the front.

No problem. I decided not to enter this year. Decided I didn't want to have to be up for 7:00 to be at the show before 9:00 to get a good spot to park. When we got there at 11 people were having to park in the back. That wasn't worth paying $50. Not to mention we left by 1:30 to go sit at the hotel pool.

On another note I just ordered Harley head lights and tail lights, MBRP dual exhaust, black and grey leather seats with red stitching should be here any day and I've ordered 4 10" RE Audio SRX10-D2 with a 1700 watt Hifonics amp.

I bet you that subframe only dropped 4" since rcx offers a 4" lift kit so you technically have a 3"+ level kit up front right now giving you those ****ty cv angles.

The only thing you can do is lower the spring perch to the 4" setting though right? There is nothing else you can do if you have the Bilstein struts. It isnt like you can rip out the level on top since you dont have one.

Lowering is not an option I'll rub all over the place. Selling my rough country and going to a Rize lift and 37s is probably gonna be what I'll do.
