Got it all together and on the ground tonight. The static ride height looks almost the same as it was with the drag springs. GW did say they intend for the LCA to be parallel with the ground, and it is. Shocks look to be about 1/2" way in their travel, which is correct. As long as the ride isn't harsh I'll be happy.
The only thing I did special was I swapped to 1/2" taller upper balljoints and had them install the 702 offset shafts. The driver side had no shims and I couldn't tell what was going on. Can I use the recommended alignment specs or do you guys have modified specs? GW instructions say:
Caster driver side: 5 degrees positive
Caster pass side: 5.5 degrees positive
Camber: 1/2 degrees negative both sides
Toe 1/32 per side, up to 3/32 total
The sway bar ends have a bolt, collar, jam nut and heim joint at the bottom. How do you set those, there were no instructions?
