Holy crap - EVERY step of the way I have issues with this thing :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: Last stoppage is this - may be normal, but doesn't look so to me... I bought JBA UCAs in order to not hit the spring, but it still hits. This is a shot of the driver's side back together and on the ground under it's own weight (right side still on jack stand). Does this angle look right? The UCA is so low, the ball joint boot is dislodged - just doesn't look right to me. It's almost like the UCA hitting the spring is preventing the UCA from moving up more in order to decrease the extreme angle...???

Put both sides on the ground and see if that helps. It still looks as if you are at pretty much full droop.

Thanks, TRock. So you're saying it looks right to you?

After getting a alignment and hooking up the swaybar you will be fine.Also if you cutout the UCA pockets it allows the more droop which can be a issue.
