So as I posted last week I planned on getting myself a level for the truck as an early Christmas present to myself. Well I got a Christmas card in the mail today from my grandma in South Carolina and inside was a check for 75 bucks! So that covers the level and leaves me 10 bucks to throw down on beer this weekend! Thanks grandma lol!!!!

Now I just ran out and measured my fender wells and my front is a Just shy of 38 inches and my rear is a 42 1/2 inches. Now the with the 2 inch level would give me a rake of about a 1/2 inch obviously which I'm trying to stay away from the 2.5 level so I don't have to get the swarbar drop brackets :/. Anyone running a 2.5 level without the drop brackets? How's your swaybar links look with out the drop brackets?

Not sure I had to replace one because it broke, not sure when. I replaced it with a greasable Moog one. Still need to replace the other side.

Photobucket is slow here at home so I will edit this post when I find a pic.

Couldn't find any there. so I went out and took some, its dark but my camera has a flash lol

Congrats. That's awesome :)


yeah, the drop brackets will keep the links from being at a bad angle. I had to get some after I had my factory links replaced because they kept breaking.
