    Yeah, it had so much lift the inner part of the UCA wedged itself between two coils. It Was hilarious.

    I would imagine it would be just a little funnier than someone dislocating their arm while trying to show off, no?

    How much lift does it give on the 4th perch? It says 1.55 but ik wondering i have a 4x4 acess cab with the 4 cyl will it be lifted higher then 1.55 inches since its lighter? Im hesitating to put it at 1.55 or 2 i want it to sit high im not really gonna use it off road except for going to the cabin on dirt roads

    I think 2 inches with tires. We saw a little over 2 inches on the 5th perch on my Son's truck.

    5100’s all around 2” up front and 1.5” aal wouldn’t change a thing IMO.

    Yes less weight up front for the 2.7L so will sit higher. Mine is a 2.7L 2wd on 5th notch. Extended 5100s in rear with HeadStrong AAL.
