    How much do you guys think the RXTs will settle?

    Its on option 3 right now with that rear bumper and bedslide.

    Measurements are 24.5in from centerhub to fender at rear


    22in at front.

    I asked the shop to crank it up another inch at the front so there's only 1.5 inch difference for settling and bed loads.


    Thoughts?

    a part of me says to wait until they settle.

    another part says to crank the front an inch.

    I’m on the medium setting and mine are at 24.25”...they haven’t settled much at all...maybe 1/4 -1/2”? I run airbags (5psi if empty) with mine and am thinking of going to the stock height with the airbags.

    What size punch are you guys using to adjust the coilovers?

    From what I've experienced, the spanner wrenches dont last too long for adjusting coilovers and ive seen people recommend a long punch bar

    yup works great. It gives plenty of leverage being so long.

    the more i look at it, the rake doesnt seem too bad.

    The truck already has a 2inch rake at stock

    For anyone needing a full set of ADS coilovers/shocks with adjusters, let me know. Can deliver anywhere between Cincinnati/Indy/Quad Cities/Des Moines/Omaha/Cheyenne just after Labor Day weekend. I've got an ad in the F/S section.

    I think stock is 1.5" or so. I agree it doesn't look bad as is and will probably settle. I would probably go up 1/2" if anything in the front but with these coilovers they ride best for me at 22.5" or lower. Otherwise there just isn't enough down travel.

    I'm keeping it as is, 2 inch lift in front - I am happy. I'll keep an eye on it if it settles I can adjust on my own.
