looks good man, nice upgrade! I think I'd be perfectly happy with leaving them at the halfway points for both front and rear!

you should have left the lip on! I would have loved to see a pic of the lip as a snowplow...

Not a good comparison. The TEIN Basic's are not damper adjustable. KW V2's are damper adjustable.

the height in the front are easy just remove the wheel loosen the Spring perch with the little allen key and turn the spring perch with the KW wrench the rears on the other hand u have to remove the entire spring.. why its because the ajustable spring perch sit all the way up in spring seat at the top of the suspension hope i made myself clear..

look at this PDF File scroll to page 8

It was the actual power steering rack or just one of the bolts/connectors holding it in place? Did the dealer diagnose the problem?
