So this is what both of my springs look like and they look to be turning in the cups. They're making noise while wheeling but seem fine on the highway. Anyone?

What length did you set the lower CAs at? Do you have a picture from the side showing your wheels in the wheel well? You should start around 23.25" and then tweak for caster/pinion.

Your lower arms are out too far. Set them to 23 1/16 to 23 1/8.

They were set to whatever was in the instructions but I think that either they're not sitting right on the bottom or the alignment shop moved the LCAs...I don't think that's really possible in the amount of time they had the truck or maybe idk. LCAs too long seems to be the general consensus.

Actually it seems they are set too short or uppers too long. Looks like they are bowing towards the front. The pics are kind of dark.

After measuring them, it seems they are indeed too short. Guess I'll throw it up on the lift tomorrow after work and tweak em

They actually seem to be bowing towards the frame btw. They also seem of have spun and are sitting funny in the cups
