I didnt read if anyone said it or not but you have to back out the set screw and take the weight off the coilover by lifting at the frame. If you dont back out the set screw not only will you be fighting the screw but you will mess up your threads also making it hard to turn even after you back it out. If only you lived in AZ if you think those ride nice ill show you what a nice ride is. I got the rear valving worked out on my foxes so hopefully I can test and confirm that soon. Also I think this week while my truck is messed up anyways I might order some UCA's and finally get that hymed outer tie rod end made up. If all works out right I might start selling custom valved rear foxes and the hymed outers, if my buddy will machine more then a few sets, hes doing me a favor now but maybe he will make a run of them.

Also lower BJ are 50 each and like bud said they dont get near the wear or shock load from being maxed out like the upper. The lowers are really pretty strong on our trucks, and they have a lot more angle then they actually use even on full droop. I liked the stock ones batter then my moog so i am going back to the stock ones when I get my side all fixed up.

I lift from my front cross member too I just didnt want to recommend it because then everyone would flame me for being unsafe. Also while you are adjusting the coil overs a shot of wd does wonders. As for the alignment you should be fine the upper arms add more camber and that would be the only place you would have problems with. Ill get on those outer hymes tomorrow
