they work but without the new upper control arm they put to much on an angle on the upper ball joint...just my opinion, i know some are running without them, but i wouldn't. puts a lot of stress on it. also keep an eye on your cv shaft. to much on an angle on it and you'll be buying new ones of those to, on a regular basis

Contact Nor-cal Nick. he can set you up with a good leveling kit. Won't steer you wrong. Also for the better ride if you crank your bars, you'll need the shock extension bracket or longer shocks. The shorter shocks will not allow full travel and will bottom out and make the ride a little harsh. I'm running 295's on H2's and no rubbing but my bars are prolly 3/4 the way up and longer shocks. Does ride a little stiffer but not too bad.
