Your drag link looks a little tweaked. 
Want to get a grab me a measurment from the center of the wheel up to the "lateral line" running along the body?
How do you like the L8 4.5" springs overall? How do they work when the truck is loaded up?

Before the RTE website was changed they had the front and backs switched around in the description. I took it at face value and installed them (3in) that way. The disco bucked and hopped all over the place. It is very dangerous to say the least...mostly how you described your experience in your first post. I switched them around and it was distinctly different. They've been fine ever since.
It's probably those limb risers that cost you the handling.
Those things are terrible on the highway.

happened on my truck, adds too much weight up top and catches wind.
So how are the springs holding up? You say you lost about 2" compared to the 5" RTE springs, how would you say they compare to the 3" RTE springs then?
Also, I'd still love a measurement from the front wheel center straight up to the horizontal line on the front fender.

These were used so maybe that is an outlier, but these springs are not holding up. The truck sits much lower now than it does in the above picture. I think the PO had dana 60 and 14 bolt possibly retained. I don't know.
Later this year I'll probably replace them with a new set of 4.5 springs from L8.

I haven't heard of that many people running them to be honest. I'm just considering my options at this point.
