The sway bar bracket bolts onto the original mounting place of the brake line hanger and sway bar. My measurements is from the floor to the fender is 42.5 inches and from the middle of the hub (I'm assuming that's where you wanted to measure from) to the fender is 26.5". Happy to help man I'm new to the forum and already this is great it seems like a really nice community here. I used the facebook Ram group for a while but people on there are assholes honestly.

That's kind a what it looked like, just hard to see. I will for sure need that bracket if I do these springs. Holy ****?! 26.5" that's 2.5" above me and I'm just about 1" above stock. 40" from the ground. But I'm on stock tires.

This forum is great, honestly. You can message any one of us on here privately and each member would do their best to help. Never and issues or idiots saying unnecessary ****. Just guys helping each other spend all our money!

Not happy with icon coils?

More than happy with them running 27" extended King 2.5 shocks.
But the thought of being able to run 29.5" King 2.5's is making me rethink my rear setup :), I can't run that much shock on the Icon springs.

I'm gonna see how this all turns out for the OP. His rear is 2.5" higher than mine hub to fender. My 6112s are maxed out and I'm not looking to rework everything. 2.5" of rake is alot.

LMAO this forum is going to make all of us go broke. All those 0% CC offers are getting harder and harder to ignore. I still can't stop fantasizing about coilovers for the rear.

Ty Tom, You don't have any extra weight in the back from stock correct (full spare, cap ,etc, etc) so 42.5" wihout extra weight ?

Man, I wanna try these out so bad but I have no more room up front to go higher. I'm at like 2.3-2.5 at most up front. I'd look a bit stupid with a huge amount of rake.

I'm gonna have to request a full side pic lol. Damn I love the way that sport package looks btw.

I'm so confused on what height my truck is at. I got my truck used, had a spacer up front and air bags in the back. My lift heights are the same as a few members sitting around 2.8 front 1.5" rear. So my assumption on the rake could be wrong. Idk lol. This is the problem with forums!!!

This is mine on stock tires as of yesterday. You for sure sit way bigger.

I'm gonna hold out till you get this setup installed and we'll compare 6a0d89c03228de7970a77ea8e87b9ebf.jpg
