Just a update...

The front was rubbing so I took the wheel well cover bolt and plug off and tucked the cover inside the wheel well. Now no more rubbing...

I did the same mod the weekend you suggested it to me and it worked like a charm, thanks again kenny! Now I think I can go a little lower

Any suggestions for the rear?? When I carry passengers it rubs to hell and back after each bump.

No I didn't get camber bolts for my car...I might if start to see some crazy inside tire wear though...Do you and Charlie have wide tires/offset? my 17/205/40s w/42 offset doesn't rub in the back at all.

Looks pretty nice. So what made you choose these that are stuck at a static height over coilovers that are much more adjustable?

It is going to be a new front end...and I wasn't even driving like a jackass.....the truck just slammed on the breaks and I couldn't stop in time....Lucky it didn't hit the radiator and the airbags didn't deploy...

^ did the driver slammed the brake on purpose or had to avoid something?

With +442 offset on the rear you can tuck wheel and no rubbing

have you run this setup at a track or touge?

i have heard that is a stiffer and more responsive version of the stock setup.
