RPG Goodies!

RPG 1.5" collars installed up front with RPG 1" drop shackles installed out back.

I took measurements from the ground to the lip of the fender flare on both the front and back. The front was 41 1/4" and the rear came in just shy of 41 1/2.

The quality of both parts is outstanding and the overall fit and finish looks great. IMO RPG did a great job. Special thanks to the crew at SDHQ for being easy to work with and more importantly always delivering top notch work.

That's exactly what I have with the 1.5" RPG collars and no drop shackles in the rear.

Interested to see how this settles out.

I plan to take it out in the dirt tomorrow to see how the truck handles compared to stock and will post new measurements if anything changes. I anticipate things will settle out a little but not much. We shall see!

When you measure from the ground terrian and tire pressure has a larger effect. Its more accurate to measure from the rim center cap to the lip of the fender.
Its crazy that you guys both have the RPG's up front and the rear hieght is the same regardless of the drop shackles. Are they both S-crews?

Actually I should be more clear. I did measure from the center of the wheel up to the lip. What I meant to say is that my rear is also 1/4" higher than the front and that's without the drop shackle. I'm also confused that they both have the 1/4" extra height in the rear. I would expect the front to be 3/4" higher with a 1" drop in the rear.

Had my RPG Collars installed today! Another happy GPG customer. I had Colorado Off Road install them for me. They ended up taking the shock off for ease of install. Just an FYI, I had an alignment done on my truck as well. I swapped my ADV.1 wheels off my Gen 1 and put new Toyo MT meats on. Probably wasn't the collars but everything at once warranted the alignment. I was off quite a bit but running great now. Ride quietly seems to be the same but I am driving a Raptor with MT's...its not a Cadillac (its better)!!

What wheel size and offset are you using? 0 offset? I want that look for my rig.

Took some new measurements today after spending some time in the dirt. The front sits about the same and the rear dropped about 1/4" making the difference in numbers front to back almost identical.
