[QUOTE="Taxman, post: 892967, member: 15754"] Did you buy it new or used? It looks like it's riding a little high in the front and looks like it either is on top perch or has a leveling kit installed. Either one of those may shorten the life of your CV joints. If you bought it used, look at the front Fox shock absorbers and look for groove rings underneath the spring perch (the blue metal thing where the springs rests). If you see two grooves (separated by a little over an inch, you are on top perch; one groove means you're on mid perch and no grooves means you're riding stock height and you will need to determine if you have a leveling spacer installed. This is what it will look like on top perch - notice the two grooves on the shock body underneath the blue metal spring perch: [ATTACH=full]247580[/ATTACH] If you didn't see any grooves on your shock absorbers, but are still riding high, you may have a leveling kit. Leveling kits are harder to spot if you aren't familiar with the stock suspension. You will need to look at the top perch (where the top of the shock absorber connects to the frame) and see if there is either an additional block or a spacer on top of the stock spacer. It may have a company logo (other than Ford) such as ProComp, Daystar, Fabtech, ReadyLift or other third-party logo. They look like these: [ATTACH=full]247581[/ATTACH] Plenty of resources on this forum to help you find out. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
