Please tell me that picture is when your truck was still off the ground... Can you fit your hand between the spring and the upper ball joint?

Sorry i exited the last post too...I ask because it looks like you cant use your 4x4. Thats a pretty severe angle for the CVs. As long as it works then screw it but dont beat on it offroad or you will definitely break the half shaft/boot!!

Looks good though. Ride much better?

If that's how your truck is really sitting then your upper ball joint and spring are going to hit and cause issues and your cv joints look like really harsh angles that I'm sure would cause problems. Are you just on the top setting without a spacer?

Yeah my bad, I guess I wasn't paying attention when I took the pic. It's been a long day after changing those new actuators and lower ball joints. Haha sorry guys

That's why I asked. The angles looked harsh.
