Yes sir. Very pleased with the build quality.

Setup looks awesome. Did you go with their steering setup as well? What is your final drop in the front? Cannot tell either but what style headers are you running?

Yep. 500 series box, with a new Borgeson high volume pump.

The springs have about 600 miles on them, so I expect them to settle just a bit more. Should settle at about 5".

The headers are Hooker Super Comps. They tuck really well. Just had them recoated. Original coating bit the dust after 15 years!

Wow that answers my original question about long tube header clearance issues. Looks killer! What size wheel/tire combo?

I bought the bar about a year before the control arms. Hadn't planned on changing them, but then I got bug up my ass.
I like the setup, Think I'll be going this route on mine..

255/50-17 and 275/50-17. Once I burn through the tires (Nitto NT450) I'm going to get new wheels on the front to run symmetrical tires. 17 x 8 in front 17 x 9.5 rear. Not sure you can still have American Racing make those in 9.5? I had it done 15 years ago.

I'll have to go 17 x 9 on the front most likely. Not a huge deal, but I want the bulge to look alike.

Did you install drop spindles as well or is it just he 2" springs? I was debating on going up in wheel size but in the air and that's a seperet conversation.

I have Belltech drop spindles as well.

I'm trying to autocross this at the next Optima event in Willows California next February. The adjustability has been a huge help, especially in the rear. Night and day actually.

Okay if they've worked for you then I may get a set as well when time comes for it. Thanks for the info!

Ok that's what I thought since I didn't see any other ones on the site, so that means you have 5" drop total with the 2" springs, I see you have a 27" tall tire like I have and yours sits the same as mine did, but all I had was 3" drop coils with stock spindles, that's 2" difference but both trucks sit the same, what am I missing here????..
