Have you drove it yet? It's probably real rough right? Looks like you need relocation brackets

Maybe longer shackles as well. You got way to much height out of that 3 inch kit.

Wouldn't that make it even taller? I'm not sure how that would help. It's not daily driver anyway.

They have a "no lift" version as well I just found that one first. Ok just trying to help you make it ride better. Your shackle angle is nearly 90 degrees when it shoukd be 45. The relocation brackets help fix your angle.

I finally got the longer shocks put on and took it for a drive. It has a slight vibration between 35 and 40 mph when accelerating, but it is hardly noticeable. I ran it up to 65 and had no death wobble. Overall I am happy with it so far.

You still would want to fix the vibes.
