Cool. I'm wondering if you are lowered, should you also run shortened sway bar end links.

It’s not required but I always do.

Adjustable end links to get the bar ends flat like they should be instead of angled after the drop.

is being angled after the drop a deterrent inn any way to handling or performance? would you recommend adding these adjustable end links right away or wait till you guinea pig it out?

The bar ends being angled changes the moment arm of the bar...99% of people will never notice, including me. I just want to make sure everything is as right as it can be. The adjustable links will also let me make sure there’s no preload on the bar which can also affect the handling.

I think this will be it. 325’s would need an 11” wheel imho and that’s too tight up front.

what offset on an 11" wheel do you think would fit? 28? 25?

I’m not gonna guess at an offset for an 11” wheel up front. Clearance would be way too tight for my liking.

If you don't mind, could you post up some pics of your wheel's clearance at full lock in both directions? or @sleekone i know you have a similar setup, could you post some on your build thread? i would be curious to see just how much room we have to work with on both the fender and the suspension bits...

I’m out of town all week so I can’t get pics. The clearance issue with an 11” wheel and tire is at the strut...with a 10.5 +30 and 305/35/22 there’s barely 1/2-5/8” clearance there now. When I go to 315’s that will shrink to 3/8” give or take a couple MM.
