    Yeah man get that spacer out and you should be good. Should have the slight rake afterward like factory just sit higher.

    Sucks about the tooth. Damn.

    Well thanks all y’all for the help I’ve been beyond stressed about it I’m only 18 so I don’t make a ton of money and I’ve gotten in over my head with this crappy RC lift and on top of that still gotta explain my tooth to my parents... but I wouldn’t have figured it out without y’all. Thanks

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Been there, done that with the chipped tooth. Imagine trying to explain that it happened because you ran face first into a brick wall...

    Can someone explain the physics behind the theory that a lift is exponential? Someone mentioned that if you put a 1" spacer in you'll get 2" of lift. I'm not doubting thats true I just can't comprehend the physics behind the theory.

    Don't think of it as raising the truck. Think of it as lowering the suspension.
