    Why do you suspect it is not actually 4.5 inches?

    I think it is 5 in the front and a 4 inch block in the rear. I have a 4 inch block and my truck sits perfectly level. Stock is about an inch down in front.

    Not with a drop bracket lift, which the rcd is. Weight has nothing to do with it because you aren't achieving the lift with stiffer springs or by preloading the spring.
