Update on Lowering My Ride
Well as you all should know I had my Edge lowered by flipping the keys and the rear axle. Well once we got done with it we noticed 2 slight problems. 1. was that the rear sat lower then the front not really a big deal it was off not even by an inch. 2. that the passenger front side sat higher then the drivers aka "Ranger lean." Well I was kinda bored today so I decided to fix the lean issue so I break out the ole grinder and go to work on notching the X-member. Long story short 1 1/2hrs later got everything filed down and put back together and I measure to see if I did it, and success the passenger + drivers side now sit at 29 1/2". The rear sits at 29" so thats only 1/2" difference which I dont think is that noticable.

Ive never heard of that b4 but all I did was raise the torsion key up off the plate so I could grind down the area where the plate rests against makin the key sit lower thus giving the truck more drop on the side that sat higer than the other. Besides my battery and gas tank are on my driver's side the passenger side is the one that sat higher.

Haha and no my truck is no where near bagged i wish it was but i dont feel like pumping 7k into my suspension to have it lay'd out at the moment my name on here is just wishful thinking for the future

I let it settle about 3 weeks. I dunno wut else would have caused it I the guy that dropped it for me said about every truck he had delt with leaned alittle after it was lowered so for me to expect it to happen to mine so I just figured it was a natural thing. Im waitin to see if the aftermarket will ever come out with a bolt on torsion bar airbag kit like they have out now for the coil spring trucks cuz right now air bagging an Edge is way to expensive just for the simple fact that it has to be a custom setup.
