Fabbed it up and got it in.
Vibrated a little but new CV's in the front took care of that.
Struts are out of an 08 with 3000mi I scored for free.

awesome!! Have you added blocks for the trailing arms, rear diff cradle and front cross members? Otherwise you'll have negative cumber.

if he has enough offset in the tops he will not have negative camber.
looks like a strut top only lift to me..

I put in 6mm offset.
It looks perfect and rides and tracks true.
Will get wheel alignment tomorrow and if need be will get camber bolts for rear.

Fair enough - let us know how you went..
How did you work out about 6mm offset?

Got that offset here and elsewhere,wasn't quite enough because it was a little positive on the camber so put cambolts in rear.
Now toe adjust cambolt has chewed up nut on drivers side,couldn't get it loose so so it's set with a dogtrack.
Gonna try to split the nut after work tomorrow so they can finish up the alignment.

6-7mm is about right when you also use body blocks. For a strut top only lift you need more offset
