Look What Came In...

This arrived today now I'm having second thoughts lol. I'm not going with bigger wheels but will be going with different 19 X 8.5 wheels sometime next month when I think we're done with snow.

I don't think I've seen a thread anywhere where someone lowered theirs and didn't get some weird noise somewhere in the suspension. If I do decide to do it, it will be done professionally by a suspension shop here.

Will be following this thread.

I learned that the install is fairly straightforward, but the rear adjustable control arms complicate the process. It seems most of the noises can be handled by making sure everything is torqued to spec, including the use of threadlocker where necessary, and making sure that the spring isolators are in place.

Also, I strongly recommend doing adjustable sway bar end links. You can drive without them and put them on later, but you'll notice an improvement in ride quality when you do.
