i can go another half an inch lower and that is all that is recommended by the coilover installation manual. I just dont need to be that low and the rear stock setup gets bouncier the lower you go....not by much though

Ok thanks for the insight. Ive been debating getting a set of KW's for my truck, which would be front and back, but I cant justify spending $2300 for a 2" drop... It would need to be at least 3-4 inches of drop. Do you have any knowlage of the rear coilover setup? Would it take the back down 3-4"? From what I understand, you are saying the front will go aobut 3" or so...

with full KW coils system you can go all the way down to 4"F and 3.5" R

:O

I think I might consider buying a set then if thats the case. How about toe adjustments with being slammed like that? Stock adjustments work? Ive never seen any aftermarket..

I purchased the KMAC front and rear camber kits to keep the camber within stock specs. all I can say is my truck finally stands out that much more with the drop. just springs is not that much of a difference to me.

I agree, Im a previous car guy, and had all my rides dumped to the ground. Bought this for a daily and am pretty disappointed with the lowering kits available. I just havent ever seen many people with the KW's, especially that are wanting to slam it. I think I might order mine in a few weeks matter of fact

i just started to install the camber kits for the rear and the toe bushings cannot be used unless you drill the bushing out and use the stock bolt. that is the only way it will work. im still going to use them because of the camber bushing.

Is the rear kit finally installed? Did you have problems with the rear camber bolts also? If you are finished, how does it look? Did it correct the excessive negative look, any pics from the rear?

im still in the process. the two bushings for the toe had to be expanded to fit the stock bolts. probably another week before all is said and done. with pics to follow.
