Something doesn't look right. and I think I know your problem. You used stock shocks didn't you?

get some pictures of the brackets, control arms, shocks, and cv angle.

the 3" diff drop actually SHOULD make the CV completely level... since stock is kinda angled up...

Good to see the Rancho 3" lift found a home. Yeah, its not going to give more than a coupe of inches of lift. The advantage is it will give you a bit more travel. Stock is 7 or 8 inches of travel and the Rancho is 9 or 10. If you had the Downey mega travel ball joints possibly 11" of travel. The diff drop bracketry is one downfall of the design. Downey eliminated it with the slip yoke axel shafts. The BJ spacers are a bad idea with the Rancho arms. Anyway seems like we have been over all this in a previous thread.

BTW, the Rancho kit can be modified to become a potent 2wd long travel set up capable of 14" of travel. Its a lot of work but the end product works well. Make sure you hold onto the center link and UCA pivot brackets as thats what is needed. I am still kicking around the idea to offer long arms for the Rancho kit through Blazeland. Probably too expensive and not enough demand as the Rancho kit is getting to be an endangered species.

Here are some photos of one version of the long arms I built to plug into the UCA pivot brackets. These particular arms retained the T-Bar attachment or can be used with a coil over conversion. These UCAs will work with the Blazeland LCAs. The Rancho Centerlink needs to be suplemented with Super long Tie Rod Adjusting Sleeves. Too bad there is no easy or inexpensive way to keep 4WD!

Jason... if you SAS it, there's no possible way to go back to IFS... so we already know he wont go back to IFS.
