About 12k miles. If I HAD to complain about something, it would be that the drop pitman was just a tiny bit too short, so there is a touch of bump steer. Its not enough to make the wheel go crazy, but you do notice the feedback. Besides that though, its perfect.

EDIT: wait, I just remembered one more thing. The sway bar drop kit (mounts to the frame) should have been notched where the intercooler tube passes it. It's rubbing at high levels of boost, but parked they're not touching.

Ok Pahrump, got the measurements. With the 9" OUO traction block in the rear, the truck sits pretty level with the front measuring 13 1/4" from the drivers-side axle bumpstop pad (front outer corner of it) to the seam between the trackbar mount and the frame. Here are the pics for reference. I'm curious what height you come up with on yours.

You could probably get away with the 9" block then, unless you wanted it a bit rear-high, then I'd go with the 10".

The only other thing I just thought of is that I have a 350 and yours is a 250. IF the rear springs are the same, and the only difference is the blocks, then its not an issue. If there is a difference in spring arch / height from the 250 to 350 then it's something to consider. I think it's just the factory block difference though.

I think the rear spring paks are the same...I have all the towing options that you can get for a 250...overloads, sway bar..etc...

Thanks for the pics and the help!
