up next is new thicker front and rear sway bars...motor and transmission and rear-end after...

the first picture is the rear pass. side...havent bottomed out yet driving on the houston roads...the second is is pic that its true, you can have a 2 1/2" drop spindle with a 15" wheel without any control arm clearance issues, which i was quite worried about when i bought them...
that's awesome. thanks for the info. i was thinking i could get away with only using the small red stops and ditching the factory stepped ones. but seeing your pics makes it a done deal. as for the front, i run 255/60/15 so i'm sure i'll have clearence trouble if i go that far down. i'll probably look at just the spindles because i have a set of 22's that i'd like to put back on my truck. i think they are 4" taller than the 255/60's i have so i can't go too far down in the front. but i'm hoping it'll bring it down a little.

thanks for posting the pics.
