My bars are cranked tight, but both the mechanics that put it on and rough country said that if it is at the height (21") from the hub then it should be fine. Ill get under it today...maybe its something stupid like the bump stops. Idk.

I think my ride height is higher, maybe 22 or 23" I'll have to check that. How much they charge you to install the lift?

I may just have to modify my bumpstops then because if I lower my control arms then my tire will rub and i'll need another alignment. Its not that be, just noticeable on bigger bumps and makes for a rougher ride on those certain bumps because it tops out.

New to this site, Love all the info Iv had 6 s10s and always had problems with the suspension. But im an idiot and still love them. Pretty much want to know is anyone has beat on this kit yet, iv broke 2 front diffs so far both were in my blazer with the 5 inch trail master, which is garbage. besides the crappy shocks and the cutting of the front diff does this kit seem to be legit, I commute in my blazer but also want to be able to rally around a little bit and not have to worry too much about breaking bending and reliability any input would be great. the pics of the drop brackets look like weak what do you guys think

Sounds like you might need the soild axle conversion, anyway the drop brackets are solid pieces and the arms are good also. I have the rough country 2.5" and a 2" body lift. I'll try to down load a pic or two.
