[QUOTE="andreb, post: 1555854, member: 16801"] I just installed the full front kit on my truck from SVC. As [USER=37209]@Ryan C[/USER] mentioned you have to drill the top of the spindle to 3/4" to accept the new bolt. The supplied fasteners are all A/N style and have long shoulders so the moving parts aren't sitting on the threads. This makes all the bolts really long. My lathe is down at the moment otherwise I would have parted them all off about .5 ~ .75" Guess I can do it when I rebuild the shocks in 10K miles (as suggested by Fox!!). SVC has great products but there is not a lot online about installation, etc. They will help you if you call in but I think they install most of this stuff for customers. Jeff was a big help on the phone when I was doing my install. I also found some info at RPG and other sites like drilling the hole. I also chamfered to top edge of the spindle. I made the mistake of installing the UCA's with the joints screwed in to match the factory dimensions. When I let the suspension off the jack (full droop) it hit the spindle and deformed the alloy a bit. You can see in the first picture where it contacted and the "wrinkle" mark. This won't affect anything mechanically, it's just cosmetic but a bummer. The correct setting is 5 threads showing in the front adjuster and 3 in the rear. It's probably too much camber but it prevents this from happening. I'll let the alignment shop worry about the correct setting.
