i lowered the front another inch after getting the new ball joints and got it aligned again and guess what i find out. the last place didnt do jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! motherfers!!!!!!!! i got the receipt with warranty i swear if i get any wear on my tires i wont blame this last shop im gonna blame the other beaners who didnt do jack!!!
they just rubbed on the bolts to make it look like they did something but the other aligment place was showing me that it didnt even need to get aligned maybe that the reason why they did it...
btw my truck now rides like ish on the freeway and on the street on bumpy roads feals like i have hydros might have to get them edelbrock shocks afterall.

The reason it rides like crap after being lowered is that you took some of the travel out of the suspension. You also have a bad ride because your shocks are nearly bottomed out, get drop shocks, proble partially solved.

yah i was thinking of geting the edelbrock ones just waiting on waht people say on the explorer forum. their like 300$ for all 4 so i dont want to get them if it wont help. its livable right now but bumpy freeways like the 710 you have to drive with both hands LOL

man i really want the 22's but this ride problem is killing me. on the streets its not to bad but the dam 710 i got on it daily and that freeway is garbage and my truck rides like garbage now on it. and with less meat on the 22s man oh man it will be sweet for a couple of weeks but im guessing its gonna get annoying. maybe its cause my girl likes to go like 90 on the freeway lol dam gonna be suck on long trips going like 60 only...

what is that going to do besides bring the rear hangers forward? then you have to get them re-curled aswell? the only reason i could see to cut the springs is to make clearance for a roll pan.

youre going to need a c-notch dude.
i used the wrong words lol i meant the bump stop is on the lower control arm not allowing any suspension travel and for it to drop more. and im talking about the front not hte rear. the rear can still be drop more
