Here it is guys, clip kit and spindles installed, waiting for an alignment. It's a bit lower out back than I thought it would be; glad I went on the 4" setting than the 5.......
Im looking at your sig pic from before. Looks like it was raised a little up front, or maybe its just the angle of the pic, but have you checked the torsion keys to see if they were maybe cranked up?
No Sir- drop spindles up front. But lemme ask you this, how much drop per complete turn of the torsion bar bolts, and how would I know if the T bars were cranked.............

No way to know as far as my knowledge goes. Maybe looking at them, you can see how tight the index's are on the keys.
To my knowledge 16 full turns is about an inch. When doing it, make sure you lift up the trucks front end or which ever side youre on. Measure before you do it, and then loosen the keys up. Drop the truck and move it forward and reverse a little so the height can settle, and then measure again and see if its the height youd like. Its also a common thing, for one side to sit lower than the other, one side might require more turns (cheby lean).
Remember loosening the stock keys will give you a little rougher ride after maybe an inch or inch and a half, and youll need an alignment as well.
Thanks guys- yeah it does look good, great really, I guess it's the initial adjustment to the new altitude of the truck. Here's where we are now- one side is sitting a good 3" lower than the other so that's on the bucket list today as well as going over the front; reinstalling sway bar, popping on dust hub caps and double checking every nut. Thanks guys- I'll keep y'all posted, here's some pics......
Thanks FF- this is the passenger side that's lower- took a peek under there B4 anything else was sitting on bump stop. It's prolly something stupid- I'll snap a pic when I find it. Meanwhile- would this be the correct orientation of sway bar to tie rod, for the life of me I can't remember......... TIA
