The Core 4X4 sway bar end links are very noticeable in the wheel well... :Big Laugh:

Truck looks great. Where did you buy the adjustable rear track bar?

Thanks. I got the Panhard bar from Spence at Core 4X4. While it is adjustable, it is not adjustable while on the truck. Spence is going to redesign the Panhard bar so it is adjustable on the truck, just like the Spohn. Coming soon !

Thanks for the info. I think id rather have it the way they are made now. Less threads to go bad over time. Dealt with that on a couple of lifted jeeps i had.

I just lowered my rear 2" today with the Firestone bags to keep it level when towing my trailer, I really like the leveled look.

How many coils have you cut off the Mgaughys springs in the back? and how does it ride?

Didn't cut any coils. Rides great...got some tweaking to do with the QA-1s, and You can tell the ride is stiffer and more responsive, but for being so low, it rides great.

When you ordered the Core 4x4 rear control arms did you get the tier 3? and 0 lift correct?

When selecting options for the control arm it asks....
Lift Size: < 0 or 0 - 6 or 6+
Since our trucks are lower and not lifted I thought you opted for the < 0 and not the 0 - 6”

I got mine before they were (are) listed on the Core website. I emailed back and forth with Spence, told him what I was doing, and he made them.

How much heavier are the Core control arms than the factory arms?

I keep my rear QA1's at 6 on the street & 4 on the track.

How was the quality of the white paint on those core4x4 arms?

How close was it to the Ram PW7 white?

I just talked to Spence at core4x4 and he informed me they weren’t powder coated, only painted GM Olympic white 34851
