You can try to back off the adjustment bolts and see if you can get back down to 23 1/2/. Sometimes keys are indexed by the installer so they will have to do less "cranking" and achieve a lift that is WAY TO HIGH like 25".

If you can't back them down enough you will have to buy new ones or re-index the keys you have (not sure with the readylift keys).

Per a bad alignment I replaced the cv joints at 25,000 miles and now with 50,000 miles and still at 24" I decided to try this mod. I built two spacers, dropped the front of the diff 1" and to my surprise, the T cv's are a lot closer to the 07! MAJOR DIFFERANCE! Next, I checked the angle on the front driveshaft on both to see the change measuring from the trans heat shield to the shaft, maybe a 1/16 difference! No added stress in the driveshaft boot at all. Next, check the mount on the rear diff mount, not bound or stressed at all. If I have to replace the rear bushing often I will mod the crossmember to drop the rear an inch because I can! The less stress on the cv's is what rules here, from cost savings to reliability it is a no-brainer!
Nice job! The mod is Soilid .

How many miles do either of you have on this setup so far? Any wheeling done too? Any issues?
