Looking good, which kit did you get up front? Belltech or DJM?
I got it all done and took it for an alignment and the camber is really close and they adjusted the toe slightly. The caster is outta whack but my main concern are the noises it is making.
I have snugged everything up again and still have these rattling/clunking noises. Did anyone have these until the shocks settled or anything?
Here is a pretty rough photo, she needs a bath real bad.

Higher caster is good.
steering come back centered more easily...and our power steering is wayyy enough powerfull to turn the wheel whitout any different feeling from the driver.

rattling
Hey just looking for some advice, I have some serious rattling coming from the front even the smallest bumps. Sounds like a heavy rattle, any ideas? Did anyone else have this issue? I have snugged everything up a few times now with no change in the rattle.
I also have some squeaking from the back but i figure I might have tightened the shackle a bit much.
Thanks for the help!

I have cut some steel shims for the hanger bearing. I added one and it got better but I have one more to go in.
I would have to say it rides a little bit rougher but not that much different.
I am still frustrated with the clunky sound I have coming from the front suspension and the creeky sound I have coming from the rear.

F150 SUSPENSION GURU
Mine creeks everytime i pull into my incline driveway apron. Its awful but oh well... As far as the rattle ive never heRd anyone complain. There was a sleave that slid over each strut that im told preventa a rattle. Make sure that is on both maybe. Looked like 2 sockets to me in the package. My package was missing one so a shop made me one. Thats all i can think off.
