The details are an RPG 3 1/2 inch adjustable collar with RPG upper arms. The rear has a 2 inch RPG spacer.

It does clear no problem and I will say looks pretty bad ass, however the issue is that RPG is supposed to be making an actuator arm or mount that attaches to the upper arm and the shock actuator controller for LIVE valve shock , at this current time the shock thinks it needs to be in the hardest setting because the arms are up in the air, which gives you a very firm ride, which I do not like! It's like your shock setting is in the hardest position. Those guys in the white lab coats that get paid millions of dollars for engineering did not intend this obviously..

Yep. Plus you have lost a fair amount of your down travel when you go 3.5" of preload. I found out the hard way on my GEN2 when I went 3" of preload. Rode like crap. About 2" is max in my opinion on preload with stock arm configuration.

Truck does look great though.

Well, it looks sharp! Sucks about the ride quality though. I'm leaning towards waiting on Fox to come out with actual Race Series dual Live Valve shocks for these trucks so we can get a touch more lift without the negatives you are experiencing. Do you happen to know the width and offset of your wheels? Looks like they are Innov8 G600s but wondered which offset you went with.
