Tip for when you install them: Instructions say to grind down the two pieces of metal on the inside of the rear bracket to get a flush fit. Do that, but also grind down the sharp edges on the back of all 4 brackets. I didn't and ended up with a sliced bushing. Put some grease in the zerk fittings or they'll squeak like crazy.
Thanks for the tips on that! I looked back there and immediately saw those edges and thought "...those have got to go." They went in without a hitch after I went at it with the dremel. Got the fittings greased up after install as well.
A few pictures as promised. Shipping took a couple more days than I'd have liked but, that's perfectly acceptable considering it was the holiday season. The arms were packaged very well, with clear concise instructions. They're, well, beautiful. Shout out to Nick at Dirt King, I love 'em.
For reference on the picture, I have a 6 inch pro comp lift, with 5100s/moog 4x4 coils. I had them on the middle perch in this picture, but dropped them down to the lowest perch the day after. Zero bucket contact on either setting, with no grinding on the lip. :big_grin:
Side note: After dropping to the lowest perch, putting on these arms and removing the sway bar, the truck rides like night and day. No more bucket contact, extra travel and I'm really digging the feel of having the sway bar off. The front suspension is noticeably more independent now. I don't have to creep up to speed bumps at 2 mph anymore either, afraid of the noise my downtravel will make. I took the truck for a quick blast through an un-owned field last night and it was eating up the bumps and ruts like it was nothing.
