The full extended suspension meassure is 32 1/4"
I gess new upper shock mount needs to be 8" higher
next steps going to be the remake of the new mounts
Airbox and coolant reservoir needs to be removed in order to fit the upper shock mount

Btw, i should started on passenger side instead of driver side.
Passenger side is where instruction manual is shown

The angle on the knuckle looks like it is laid back quite a bit from stock. How much farther back are your upper a-arm mounts from where the kit is designed for them to be?

I was trying to see if that works, but i noted that casters were far back, i can still use it like that dont care beside the bypass could not fit next to the coilsovers shocks too. Anyway tomorrow i will be remaking the mounts as it supposed to be on this kit

I was told to be at 8 7/8" from cabin mount next to the radiator
I m at 9 1/4" from the mount.

The closer i can get to the 8 7/8" the less is the positive caster added to it

A bit closer to the 8 7/8" from mount, i will need to mod brake pump mount

Question, did you do any homework/research AT all before purchasing this kit? Like any, any at all?

In all honesty this is probably how it will go for me also when/if I go LT. I have no reputable off road fab shops near me and I sure as hell am not shipping my truck out west or east for the work to be done. We have built dirt track cars from tube chassis in the past and have plenty of fab/welding experience but nothing as far as LT off road suspension work. I'm pretty sure the guy is just posting pics for information and help which it does not seem that there is very much of that here more of a peanut gallery IMO.
