Some have reported the moogs flash rusting.

Your alignment numbers look good.

Maybe rotate the tires to see if it helps the wandering feel.

The front you can do a swaybar relocate bracket.
Moves it down and away from your shock a bit.

Saw the reviews on moogs mention the rust. Guess I'll stay away from those. I'm thinking about going no rear links and see how it feels. Shouldn't affect the drive as much as long as the front sway bar is there I'm guessing.

Good call on the tire rotation. Don't think i've done that.

in the product description it states that the struts are pre-set @3"s. I'd suggest dropping the front end to 2" to 2.5". Unless your tires wont clear...

I have heard that anything above a 2" will probably require a front differential drop. It is nothing more than a couple of thicker spacers and longer bolts, so installation is a snap. You want that to reduce the angle your front CV joints now have after the lift.

Oops. Just clicked your link and see it comes with diff drop. Carry On.

This isn't an issue with the RWD right? I have the 2wd one

So the installation is complete and I think I'd like it better at 2.5.

3 Inch looks level but I kinda dont like the amount of space between the tire and the fender. I think it will look better with 2.5. I need to replace ball joint and I'll drop it to 2.5 when I take things apart at that point.

Correct. You can’t drop the front differential on a RWD

Hard to tell, but you might have some reverse rake.

yes I'm going to drop it a bit after it settles. Should've done that before the install but was too excited to get the thing up and running so i left it

I may just a tiny bit yeah. Looking forward to seeing how it settles.

If it doesn't end up settling, I'd recommend getting a rear spacer from Cornfed: Cornfed Suspension Home. Good customer service. They customized my spacers to fix my driver side lean.

I think it should help matters.
