Here is a shot of my front end (when I had 37"s on it) The FTS kits drop the upper control arms such that they remain parallel to the ground, like stock. Notice the lower control arms are parallel too as are the drive axels due to the lower frame extension. This makes it ride like stock-better because of the shocks--Kings are not necessary--they are $375.00 a piece but man are they good.

If you look at the front end pic below this post, I tweaked the torosion bars, making the upper and lower control arms drop a bit. The drive axels are dropped also which puts extra strain on the u-joints--the ride is stiffer too.

I will lower the front back to 6.5 vice 8" when I get the time and the energy----since the caster changes, another alignment is required as well.
