Sylvan - sorry that you are having so many problems with yours.Strange that the weight of the 3.5d weights about 200lbs less than the 4.8i V8's from the raw data. Figure that would be in the motor.

I just raised my rears a little more now about 69mm from end link to end link and now I am 27.5 inches from the bottom of the rim to the bottom of the fender since the ground isn't always level. The rears are 27.5" as well and it rides like stock.

My only problem which I have to figure out is why my front is 27.5 on the driver side and 27.75 on the passenger side. Unlike the links with air the springs are the springs. It is a .25" difference which isn't a big deal but with springs I would think that it would be dead on or at least a little closer. I will remeasure again in a week which would mean about about 3 weeks to settle down.
