Yes I have the factory one. I'm going to search the local salvage yards for the 30mm factory one.

Now you need to post your before and after measurements here, along with how you modded the suspension: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post14677330

Sorry BB, That was for jointasset. He stated how much diff he EXperienced form the Helwig. This is TRUE if he had no factory saybar to start BUT sense you do, you would be going through a lot of effort for VERY LITTLE gain IF ANY by changing a 27MM bar for a 30MM bar. How is the play in the frontend, BJs, steering box, swaybar bushings ???

Better money spent than on a DIFFERENT swaybar.

I'll take a look at all the bushing in the front end tomorrow. I don't think I'm having any ball joint issues at this time. Everything is pretty quiet in the BJ area but I'll sneak a peak in there as well. As for the steering wheel; there really is not very much play. I think the steering box is good to go.

ATS does not sell lift KITs so to speak. You just give Jr a call, tell him what you are wanting to do & end up with. He will sell everything you need to do it, Or any single part.

Truck looks great !
I like a little rake also. That way when you have a little weight in the back, or tow a trailer, it doesn't look saggy in the butt. Mine is dead even, front to back, when measuring from the center of the hub to the wheel opening lip. But looking at the truck, mine looks a little low in the back. I assume this is because of the shape of the roof or body lines. When I do my rear springs in the spring, I intend to make sure mine is at least an inch higher in the back.
