I am just running 1.5in spacers in the back. Never noticed my axle was off center until I loaded up a trailer recently and saw one tire sticking out an inch or so more than the other. Now I notice it every time I am loading my truck up and it is bothering me lol.
I would guess that there has to be a trade off with centering the axle. If I am unloaded the axle would be in a different position vs when I am loaded down correct?

Speaking of axles off center. I got my belltech kit in yesterday and dropped my truck last night.
I really don't noticed the axle sitting to side. With the 305/50r20's, it's actually super flush with the bed on both sides. Got the truck up to about 80mph to see if it danced and wobbled and no issues so far. My only guess is the Hellwig swaybar is helping control some of those issues.
Either way I'm glad that I ordered the relocation brackets, Core lower control arms and rear Viking shocks. Next up is the panhard bar next week. Possibly order it tomorrow lol
And this would be worthless without a picture of current stance lol

Also about 100lbs or so of work gear in the bed close to the tailgate.
That looks awesome! How close to the bump stops is the rear sitting for you and any bottoming out? Where's the suspension pics?

I'm pretty sure its sitting on the rear bump stops. When I was jacking up the rear it looked like it went straight to the bump stops lol I'll get some pics when I get all the other parts in from Moe's.
Part of me knows it is going to look sick on a racestar drag pack, the other part of me wants to put 2" springs on it for daily duty. I went over a railroad crossing at speed, 50mph +, and bottomed out in the rear. Actually wasnt as hard as I thought it was going to hit.
I'm pretty sure I won't be able to hide this from the GF hahahah

LOL my ex used to call my Dak R/T the ***** bouncer.
I ended up going from a 4in rear drop back to a 2 when I added caltracs on that thing. Much better ride! And having a bit of a rake on lowered trucks looks really nice in my opinion. So +1 on the rear springs for me!

My only concern is now that I have the relocation brackets on the way, how would it affect them. Only one way to find out. I'll get all the other stuff installed then if I'm still bothered by the stance, I'll order the 2" springs off Amazon to test with. If I go that route, I'm pretty sure I'll end up cutting those to get the right rake.

Looks great with the Mag-Hytec cover!!! I've thought about getting one one before I install the LSD. Any issues with leaking?

No leaks yet and coming up on a year. Has a nice built in rubber gasket. I did scape all of the old gasket off and did light sanding as to not gouge the metal. I’m pleased with it. I also added a diff temp sensor as it had a port for it as well.

I can't believe how beefy the Core control arms are. The lowers are monsters lol Can't wait to grab the panhard and uppers

They are serious parts! They are big and strong with lots of color options! Our customer's have stated they could really feel a difference, the truck feels much more planted
