Didn't know it would come up after alignment, dang. Shouldn't I still be able to align it after widening the holes??? Now I'm worried. I want that drop!!

Looks good man I know its a pain I did my drop as well I did the align as well but when I widened the holes I also cut the ends so it wouldn't stop the alignment process on the camber adjust but the truck being so low I let the ford shop line it up it all went well but they left a bolt loose and it went crazy crooked ha they redid it though but this time I got under and double checked right away....badass truck by the way

I dont think you would have to but its hard to say for sure if i were you id measure how much it needs to move to get the camber right before i widened that way you dont have to do it again if you dont do it enough the first time i dont know how yours is but on mine to get the intow right i cut 1/4 inch off the rod end or it stopped me from adjusting it as much as it needed.

Sway Bar on....
I stand corrected about the sway bar #5548 not fitting. 04-08 uses sway bar 5548 on stock height or lowered trucks. It's the 09+ that uses different ones.
Truck really performs alot better now. Alot more fun to drive, looks hella sexy, imo. I know the front is 4.5 drop but the back looks a bit high. I've seen others with a 5in drop and they seem to look lower and mine is rated at a 5.5in drop. Maybe because tires are so thin.
Measurement from ground to fender lip/wheel well lip
Front 29.75in
Rear 31.00in
The front is exactly where I want it. Everytime I asked advice on what drop to go with I was always told to do the 3/5. When I would say I wanted lower at least in the front, I was still pointed to the 3/5. Maybe there's a good reason for it but I never got an explanation. So I just went ahead and got me the Belltech 908sp kit so I could play with a drop past the 3in mark. Very happy now.
