Rear end down. I didn't count splines, just used an angle finder. Had to put a small notch in the spring plate.

Looks awesome!

Lets see some specs on some of these rides! I'd love to know what everyone is running up front and how many splines in the back

Mines a 2" narrowed beam with drops and wide five disks up front. Rear is a lot of cutting and adjustable spring plates. 185/60 15 rear tires and 145/65 up front. Also Monroe air shocks up front to help when more then two ride. |

Do you bottom your shocks out in the back when you hit a bump? I adjusted my rear one spline and had to go to some Airkewld IRS shocks because my stock ones were bottoming out and making a horrible noise. Worst part is that it only lowered my thing about 2 inches...I've still got a pretty noticeable gap in the back..
