Guess you never know unless you are the original owner... Are you replacing with original mount? Or now that you have all the parts are you staying with your super lift? Thanks, wrxin for the pics. Reps sent.

I'm gonna leave the front brackets and probably get the extended rears now that I've basically built a custom lift. Always wanted to fit 35's or 37's.

Do you have before and after measurements of the height?

The level thing doesn't make any sense to me. Your car looks level in the picture of what the car looked like when you bought it before you started all. Now you supposedly have a 5-6" lift (given all the issues with the track bar and pitman arm and shocks) and you're saying its only 1-2" higher in the front?

What rockcrawler is trying to say is that longer bars (pitman and track) are not the only thing you need. You need to keep the track bar and pitman arm aligned (see my pics) or you will have terrible bump steer. You've raised the car up enough that the two bars will no longer be lined up and simply making them longer won't bring them back into alignment.
You might actually longer bars than your old stock one but shorter than the ones you just purchased once you get the proper drop brackets.
