Seems to have worked out. 2010 was a tad longer then the factory with the spacers. I think it will be fine.

I went to the hardware store and bought 12 grade 8 shorter bolts. Only about $0.45 each.

You may want to decrank your torsion bars a few threads, that "after" CV angle can be improved a bit and help the lifespan of the axles.

Here is my angle after I decranked mine 7-8 threads. See the before above in post 13, same NNBS axle, just really cranked bars.

I agree, But i'm waiting now to do the coil over upgrade to get away from the T-bars.So i'm going to see what the ride height is on it then.
