I installed an 11/2 inch Supermax rear spring spacer. I then cranked my torsions to level out the front. I still need to adjust the front bump stops but the ride is great. I also understand that when i go to a 32" tire I need to be careful when off roading because the tires could rub, The ride is the same and I really like the look.

I want to change my Tie rods and all other bushings up front. I think that will be my next project.

Finally needed to do some adjustments to my Ride.
After 5 years with my FabTech lift and many additional mods to the Ride since lift my AV started getting its Rake back. (front receiver, winch on front, 3 batteries, supercharger W/intercooler, & a 6year old AV)

So I needed new Balljoints and was up grading my stock Tie Rods to HD ones. Figured I would level out the AV again like the Lift did when New. took measurements before adjustment.
Jacked up front of Ride  Roll Eyes gave the Bolt 4 full rotations, lowered ride.
This raised the front of my AV at front Bumper 2" (so on MY AV I picked up 1/2" per rotation of the bolt)
Then had Balljoints (GM's replace the entire upper arm), Tye Rods, & Alignment)

Again this was on My AV other Av's may have diffrent results. Don't forget Alignment after adjustments! Thumbs up!
