I haven't been hard on the gas yet or in the high desert. But just around town the rear end feels more planted.
If I remember correctly there is welding right? I also have some front +2 fenders to install too. It never ends!!
Going to be doing some pinch weld trimming soon. Tired of the rubbing with the 37s. Have you trimmed the pinch welds yet?

I knew that Ford would not cover my ripped front half shaft boots due to all of the suspension modifications, so I replaced them myself.

Rather easy job even with the SVC UCA and Kings. I don't have a front sway bar so that helped speed up the process. Unbolt 3 brackets (2 10mm, 1 8mm bolt). Unbolt the 4 Allen head bolts covering the helm joint on the UCA. 19mm 12 point socket and 1 1/16" deep socket on the underside. Pry off the cover in the center of the brake rotor and unbolt the 13mm nut. Push out the half shafts and pop out the inner side with a pry bar. Install in reverse.

Didn't pictures during but here are the old and new half shafts.

Finally reinstalled the S2 back up lights. Took a bit to figure out how to mount them to the SVC rear bumper. But Axia Alloy made a bracket that would work.

Made an adapter harness to plug into the SPV harness and BD lights.

Took a little work, but found a way to make them look alright.

Although, they do stick out a little more than I would like.
