You have that thing way too high... after doin some research a while back, there's a simple way to measure the max height you should go with these trucks via the torsion bars... butt a tape measure to the underside of your fender flare and measure down to the dead center of your wheel... you really shouldn't go anymore than 24.25-24.5" (add for body lifts) anymore than that and you'll be riskin ripping cv boots, premature wear on ball joints and other front end components... I'm not saying you won't hurt anything at that height either. you'll always be taking a risk of premature wear running your vehicle out of its engineered range. or maybe it'll help haha ya never know... You could always make drop brackets for the front diff, but ya still gotta worry about everythig else... you must be really close to the droop stops under the UCAs huh?
