yeah ive had nothing but problems from the work that these guys have done, its my fault though i should have done it myself, thought about breaking it down in the winter and redoing everything i would be out a little bit of money but i'll make sure its right. My only problem is i really wanted to keep my gas tank under the truck, right now its in the bed. Is there any way i can do the rear and keep my gas tank under it. But i do plan to drag it so would it be better off in the bed.

well if in that picture, your truck is DOWN, then the lify problem is that the bags are not setup right. They can be compressed a lot farther than that. Technically you should get MORE lift out of that f9000 that any double convoluted bag that setup in the same fashion.
You panhard bar is horrible. kick those jackasses in the nuts for give you this shit back. That bushing should be able to rotate up and down without a problem. Second, the panhard bar is waaay too short for the amount of lift you want. That bar should be as long as humanly possible and go all the way across the rear and should be level with the rear at ride height. This keeps sideways movement or the the rear minimal as it goes through its cycle. Actually. take a look at the picture in my profile for my 51 to see an example of a panhard bar setup up at ride height.

it looks like your panhard bar is mounted the wrong way its like twisting when u lay out. the bolt to the frame shouldnt be verticle it should be layong down horizontal.....can anyone else see this?

Ahhh dammit im going down to that shop today, they need to pay me for the bag i had to replace on the front for the hack ass trimming job they did on the frame, me and my dad had to go back and trim a 1/4" off of it thats how much was rubbing on my bag, this is bullshit. Ohh well you know what they say if you want it done right you got to do it yourself.

On mine we had to notch a cross member rithg behind the cab, and the actual bottom of the cab, just a little to clear the drive shaft. If this was not done that could be your ploblem when driving to low, and when taking off hard.

They notched the cab but i dont know about the crossmember. What im going to have to do is take the bed off, which in my case is going to be a pain in the ass, and i'll have to get a real good look at whats going on. It just pisses me off that its this bad, dont get me wrong when its aired up it rides good, but this is just insane. By the way if you are in the pensacola,milton,crestview or surrounding area, DO NOT go to Custom Metal Werks in Pensacola , they are the guys who did this.

Hey it sounds like your drive shaft is too far into the transmission. When you drive low your 4link is causing your drive shaft to push in on the output shaft which in-turn pushes on the input shaft. This will also happen when you accelerate hard. I've fixed this a few times. Are your links adjustable?
