The adjustable links can change the rear height by tightening the links and making them shorter or taller

I'll have to take the measurements on the drop to see, but I would imagine its about ~1.5 inches lower the rear.

yea Tuesday i'll be taking care of that and seeing which tone I like better between x and h pipe.

I think x pipe with 2 cherry bomb glass packs might sound pretty awesome.

gonna start with just the x pipe no mufflers, then I'll decide what tone I like better (the H or the X) and add glass pack mufflers to the one I like to calm down the higher rev rasp.

My woes continue, I tried to turn up my links and one of the ball and socket joints came apart I thought it was wrecked but it popped together again and seemed alright. Long story short my wife was on a road trip today and got a leveling system malfunction warning. Luckily she made it to her destination and I walked my brother in law through what I thought the issue was...sure enough the ball and socket popped apart again. So I think it's time to order the aftermarket links because the H&R ones are garbage they were also very corroded for being on the truck for about 6 months.

Short story long I turned them up two more turns, I must be 4-6 turns above recommend now...I might be back to stock height in the rear. Any way it rides better now still not good no where near stock but it might be barable now, I need some more time in it myself but my wife said before the malfunction it felt the best it has since we lowered it.

Sylvan - man you haven't had much luck with those links. Hope you get it all worked out. If they are near factory height almost makes you wonder if you should keep them.
