    I love my 2.5" HBS lol

    I think i know the problem....I forgot to mention it to fig but the 4x4 struts are 2" taller from factory so theres a high chance that your truck has some 2wd struts on it for some reason

    wait nevermind, those are 4x4 struts

    you sure it has the factory 1.75" block?? no AAL?
    My truck sure as hell sits level with a 2.5" :shrug: plus that grille guard is heavy as hell

    ^^ that's what i'm thinkin. they're clearly 4x4 struts, and like fig told me theres still alot of room between the upper A arm and the coil. i know for a fact that a 3" will leave about 1/8" between the upper A arm and the coil

    Yeah, my 2" AS cut that distance down to nearly nothing and I got 2 1/2" out of it.

    I guess it's possible that they sent you the wrong spacer.

    the kit measures 1.75" and 1.75" is suppose to be 3" in suspension geometry ........

    Dylan even if it had a dam 10" block in the back ..... before the kit it measured 38" to the fender well ..... after 39" exactly..... doesnt matter what the back has
