what if you dropped your rear more, or made it more level?

There's sway bar disconnects, and sliders for the end links.

So I'm guessing a c-notch is out of the question. The half plate instead of the full cut.

If you arent hitting the frame with a 5" drop, then it sounds like you need to get the rear end to squat better...

I have 4"of drop i the rear and am setting down on button bumpstops daily. I have one inch of measured rake(3/4).
I would think with your setu-p you would be level or very close to it, what brand are the drop components?

Oh and i removed the swaybar a few months ago and the weight transfer is great

i dont think its a 5" drop on the rear...i dont know...it just sticks up in the *** end.

now im thinking about putting on a flip kit with the stock setup and putting in a 1" lift shackle. that should get me ALL of my squat back huh?

well i dont know what im doing wrong. my *** end wont squat at all.

belltech hangers, stock springs with overload removed, belltech 3" drop shackles, djm front springs, 90/10 shocks up front, rancho 9000 adjustables out back. i never touch the bump stops unless i SLAM into something.
