even after 99% complete (bottom pic), i drove it for a year: it continued to come down and inch

like dransport found out, i'm at 5'' under the cab, 2'' drop would put me way too low

Thank Ogre. That helps alot because that is just how mine looked before I took them out. I don't know the difference in wight of the trucks or the fatman kit for TF vs AD trucks but if yours rides good I will just leave mine alone until I'm all done and trim if need be then.

I am sure this will help the OP in selecting his IFS kit too.
