ok so i got my new leafs,coils, extended my track bar, and i put in my jks discos i sit at about 6 inches maybe a little less or more idk. but the overall result is amazing. im slowly gathering parts right now to continue on and my ford 9inch with a detroit and 4.10's fell through so im going to be going with a new direction here soon. will post pics of current height and flex pics.

they work awesome actually. my amount of flex is crazy. they are more than ok. i dont think they need anymore mounting locations only cause mine never move. i mean you need to check the bolts with the cross member and the arms but you should do that with any kit. IMO if you drilled more holes into the frame rails without sleeving it you could potentially weaken it. definitely a worthy investment.
