Sean said his drop blocks plus DSS not a good idea!

Does anyone have a leveling kit with a DSS steering brace and the drop blocks mounted together to return the sway bar to original location? I have had my 2" spacers on for 2 years with bilsteins and have not had a problem with the "endlinks" I believe they are called. I HAVE to keep the steering brace on as you all know who have em. Kore told me last week they have put the steering brace on with their drop blocks on customers trucks the lady said yea " the Darins solid steel steering brace from Canada right", I told her yes so it must be possible! The thing I see Sean telling me its that maybe it is not as safe as changing out the endlinks. I have wrote alot I know but I am really looking forward to this working as the ride with the spacer is getting more rough. Thanks to all.

You don't feel any extra vibration or hard cornering with the extra space from the sway bar? How long have you had it on? Thanks Aaron

The "stack" order goes...frame...DSS bracket...drop brackets...sway bar mount.

I am not sure what the problem would be by moving the drop blocks 1/4" (the thickness of the DSS bracket) down?????

Another option is to level the sway bar fromt he other end using longer link ends. I picked mine up from Carli.

Yea Sean is setting me up with longer end links, coils, and new bilsteins. The bilsteins 5100's on my truck right now have 60k miles so I am gonna buy new ones as a back up. I am only on the interstate but I don't know how long they last! So I guess I am set now guys I appreciate the input and help. God Bless All. Aaron
