    Since I have the Upper and lower DJM control arms I got that covered. THe arms have the Red Hard bushings for less deflection and I have the heavy duty cams/bolts. I have my Camber set at -1.25 degrees up front. I can go less or more from here. But I like it at -1.25 degrees. Turn in is nice and the truck is stable at highway speeds in corners. This will wear my tires faster then having less negative camber but to me its a trade off well worth it.

    Not sure what you mean. My truck is about 14 inches or so when measured as instructed in the lowering poll thread. I cant see the tire tread and the sidewall is tucked under the fender. especialy when standing next to the truck looking down.

    can get camber adj bolt kits at Napa or the Stealership...

    Most go with Ford as they tend to be a little more beefy than the napa ones....

    and a lot cheaper than what most sell them for....

    Personally i love the way the harley trucks look slammed but i dont think a 4/6 drop counts as slammed. Im running a 4/6 on 22's and its not low enough. But all in all nice truck man.

    If Harley#356 is lowered 4" in the back, that would put him a good 2.5" from the 1/2" thick bumpstops. This is more than DOUBLE the travel of the Belltech Hanger/shackle setup that actually yielded 5.5" of drop on my truck. I drove my truck for a year without the c-notch and had to be careful all the time. I put the stock shackles in with the dropped hangers for the winter (much safer). It rarely bottomed out with that setup. I can imagine with stiff shocks/springs that bottoming out would be very rare.

    The Belltech Hanger/shackle setup puts you at 15.5" in the back, measured properly.

    Back from the past... I have put about 10,000 miles on this setup. The ride is nice. It will bottom out in the back and in the front at times. Not bad however. The part that bothers me is that the left side of the truck sits 1 inch lower then the right side in the front. This makes the Steering wheel offset to the right. The truck drives straight for the most part. But looking at the wheel being off in my hands all the time is starting to get to me. I hauled 900lbs of Race fuel the other day. No problems. Bottomed out the rear a few times. Also hauled a Few Gun safes.. No issues. Loaded it up with a Fridge and other crap also no issues. For light and normal hauling this setup is fine. The highway ride is great. We drove the truck to Vegas and back 3 times. The Ride is softer and smoother then stock.

    What can I do about the front end being lower on the one side? I am running DJM upper and lower control arms and stock HD springs. How much would it come up if I installed stock F150 springs? Do you think I have a bad spring? The Alignment shop told me this is normal for an F150 since the gas tank is on that side of the truck and I am on that side also. If the truck was up 1 inch and sat level i would swap the springs.
