RPG vs Bajamod collars

[PARKER]

So I originally bought a set of RPG collars for my front shocks. I got them because I wanted the front end of my truck to sit a little higher. This was for aesthetic reasons as well as functional. I put aftermarket wheels on it with zero offset with the stock tires. So they would rub all the time when I was turning. Well they advertise them as lifting the front end 1.5 inches. Which they didn't. Just a hair over an inch from what I measured. Plus the rubbing was still there. The nose was still down as well. This may be good for your S.O. but I don't want it on my truck. So I decided to swap them out for the Bajamod. The truck sits right now, and there's no rub.... nuff said. The install is about the same for both brands. One just goes on the bottom of the shock perch, and the other goes on the top.

disclaimer... I paid a shop to swap them out only because I put the first ones on myself and I didn't want to mess with it again. Plus I don't have all the tools. So install was a breeze! lol

All in all I'm much happier with the Bajamod ones.

Should have got the Bigger RPG Collars. About 2.25" more preload.

Here are the after pics. I'll have to look for the side by side with the my friends truck.

I can't see any of your pics! That height sounds like it would level it perfectly though and give me more room for my 37s.

The problem with 37's is in the back end also if you flex much it will rub METAL in the fenders.

If there's a will there's a way. Hopefully I'll have them on before the week is over but I've been saying that for a while... After the bloody basin run I'll assess the damage and go from there. A couple guys who really beat on their trucks are running 37s and I don't think they're having any major problems.

Let me know... I stuck with 20" wheels in hopes of going to 37's someday but still not sure exactly how well the truck handles them. 37'' All terrains probably do better than 37" mud terrains which is what I am wanting as M/T's just look better on a raptor.
