Default Placement

Does the placement of these links look OK?
The bottom of the droplinks are a little bit forward. However, it is in perfect alignment with the Bilstein.
Or should I move the bottom of the link back one notch to make it verticle with the ground?

Thanks

Kevin

After looking at the angle of the photo, the bottom looks really far forward.
In reality, they are in alignment with the bilstein.

Hi Kevin, it basically looks right. The drop link is installed parallel to the shock. The distance/clearance between your sway bar and lower control arm looks to be a little too much. That may because you are installing a different setup than mine (PSS10s). Here is a pic showing my install and the gap between the lower control arm and the rear sway bar and the install set up dimensions I used (courtesy ViperBob) .

Hope this helps



Bob-

The distance between the sway and the lower arm is alittle over 1"

Kevin, It looks good. the shock pick-up point and the swaybar pick-up point should be in the same plane or aligned. Looks like you are running the H&R swaybar. Also I would add another threaded collar as a jam nut to locate the spring perch/swaybar mount.

Good luck with the new shocks
