For the 2011+ guys, have you noticed anything different with this axle wrap issue after lowering?
I have that "clunk" when coming to a stop and taking off from a stop so i wondered if lowering the truck would change the driveline slightly to either make it worse or better...

You just need an alignment up front

Did mine yesterday. The only thing I notice is that there is a more noticeable side pull at the rear end when I get on it.

I think my issue is the slip joint issue everyone has been talking about.

Cutten customs off of Cutten rd in Houston. They were really fast. Make sure to get shims though I hear it's better safe than sorry. I unfortunately didn't know this at the time so I'm not sure if they put them in mine.

TAB5.0FX2 - how does your truck ride now?

Cutten Customs is great. I got my BDS susp. lift on my last truck there. Great guys.

I'm thinking of dropping the back, but curious on the ride.

Great, handles a little better than stock. It lowers the center of gravity so it feels a little more snug.
