Got the adjustables with the 4" kit, at what stage of spring compression should i install them, eg static, unloaded, loaded?

Static. It's to get ya pinion angle at the correct position again so no vibs on the road.

Measure from the ground to the bottom of the pinion flange before installing lift kit.
Install lift kit then adjust uppers till you get the measurement from before.

If it's vibration you're having trouble with, your new uppers will need to be shorter than the old ones were (if the new lowers are the same length as the old ones)

My rear is fine, ni vibs and they are set to the same length as the old ones.
The front now has a terrible vibration when the hubs are locked in and driving between locations at about 70-100kmh
What can i do to fix this?
