At 1.6" you will need the CC plates, however not likely any bumpsteer related stuff (offset bushings, extended tie-rod ends, etc.)
Mine is dropped a bit more than that on the front-end (1-3/4") and I have no bumpsteer issues of any sort. Even when taking the far less than smooth exit off I-95N and on to Jacksonville's Main Street bridge at speeds quite a bit higher than the posted 55--in fact high enough that I do not care to commit them to a forum posting...

I have done it at 80+ from where Atlantic Boulevard joins, backing off to 65 or so at the hard right onto South Main Street before the bridge--I usually go through there before 4:30 am so the traffic is very light/none...

OP how is your alignment? Does the popping only happen in certain circumstances, or all of the time when turning?

Gentlemen, I apologize for my absence; I am active duty Infantry, forgive my less than prompt response. When I'm able to get time for a computer, it's a cherished event. Ha
I had a friend turn the wheel back and forth while looking underneath and I can clearly see the rack moving in conjunction with the clicking/popping sounds. Order new bushings? Or am I in need to perform the orders in the TSB that was previously posted? (thank you btw)
I'm on post (Fort Riley), no lathe or vice to use a hacksaw at the shop where I installed the LM1s. (TSB).
Thoughts?
