It's taken a lot of patience , I started with the tire rim deal , they rest falls into place lowered it on the fac. bolts then had aftermarket bolts installed
Dropped it as far as it would go , then just made a few adjustments in the height ..

I'm lowered to the bottom on the stock bolts. Definitely low enough. I scrape a lot so I can't imagine having it any lower. I don't think you'll regret raising that 1/2 inch in the rear.
