Mcgaughy drop kit installed

[ramguy11]

Looks good but the rear wheels are definitely shifted forward. Any and all dropped 4th Gen's will have it happen.

The shadow it casts is misleading. The measurements before the drop and after are the same.
Idk how or why but that's how it came out.
Thanks for all the compliments guys.

Unless your link arms magically grew longer, it's physically impossible for this to be true.
It's not a big enough deal for a lot of people to address it.

Truck looks mighty fine! Congrats on the modifications.

what UNBROKEN is telling you is that when you lower our trucks the rear wheels shift forward due to the control arms. here is an example...




this is what you need to correct that...

Hmmm...those pics look familiar. lol

Ah ok. Well oh well.
What is the adjustable track bar for?
I had the relocation bracket with this kit and it didn't shift to the passenger side like the belltech kit or DJM kit.

The adjustable trac bar isn't really needed with the bracket. But the control arms are needed to center. For an everyday driver... I don't know that you'll ever need it. But being able to dial in your pinion angle etc is better if you're going to be taking it to the track etc.

Oh ok thanks man. Yea I didn't find that it handled any different as far as drive wise. I think the suspension "stiffened" up a bit but it stay shockingly smooth still like factory.

Very nice!

 

[ramguy11]

Thanks man. It is no race truck but I find myself enjoying it more than my old "race" truck.
A few performance upgrades an I will be good to go.
Now if my buddy who has a 12' goes with a blower on his, the temptation will be very hard to resist lol.

Thanks man. I made some time after the fiancé got home to get back there and snap a pic of both.

So I have about 300miles on the lowering kit and it rides great. But I am a bit disappointed right now. I was walking to my truck today after work and noticed the driver front looked really good as far as height..... Why?
Because it is lower than the rest of the truck. I pulled out my tape measure and sure enough it sits roughly 3/4" maybe a bit more lower than every other corner.
What should I do?

 

[Exhausted]

whats your measurements on all four corners?
I'll go out and measure mine on a 2012 CC
Edit
DF-35 1/8
