Looks better but how much more room do you have to crank them?

I agree. I mean you have already cranked them and its still not completely level so do them 1 or 2 more and see if it looks better. Whats the worse that can happen? You dont like it and you put it back to where it was.

I would go more. I cranked mine all the way up and don't have a problem with it. It leveled mine out an it sits much higher

Yeah I'll crank it up some more. I was just trying it out and seeing how it looked. For the guys that have cranked them, did you get them aligned afterward? And was it simply just the toe in or was it caster and camber as well?

i was fine, until my lower ball joints went to crap after i lowered it almost all the way, and not to mention they had already needed replaced, but 180k on original lbj's isn't bad

I cranked mine so the truck sits perfectly level (as measured). I would throw some AAL's in the rear and crank it up more, but I don't like the front driveline angles....

Assuming your angles look good, crank it up some more!
