Other than that, keep an eye out on the road ahead and get it aligned. Have fun driving it at 6" all the time :)

Thanks. My cross-over pipe is already raised and the front fenders are rolled, so I'm good there. If the tie rods hit, I've read that you can simply turn the clamps such that the bolt ends aim away from the frame. Hopefully that will be enough if they do hit. My dad said he had to clearance a bit of frame on his truck where the stock LCAs touched, but his is also bagged, so I doubt mine is going to be that low to have that issue (and he eventually switched to tubular LCAs so that clearance issue became a non-issue for him).
I'll have to monitor tire rub, and if my shocks bottom out. I plan to replace the shocks anyway (I have 9 years on them-they still work well but have always been pretty stiff--KYBs) so if I happen to beat 'em up a little bit figuring that out, it won't break my heart ;-)
If I like the 6" drop, *and* if I get a 2nd car next year, I will probably consider bagging it. But I don't want to do that for a daily driver. Can't afford the time to chase down solenoids gone bad, etc.
