Are these collars essentially the same thing? 2" vs 1.5" of actual lift being the only difference?

I see someone measure OEM rake to be slightly over 2" so for me, I think RPG is the better bet unless there's other differences?

I think both products are great. But I do like the Bajamod Coil Spacer design idea better and if I had a GEN2, I would be getting that one for a stationary option. No need to remove and adjust the factory shock, just compress the spring and slip it in, uncompress. Is Bajamod done with production and selling them though?

I measured a 2017 and that one was only 1.5" between the back and the front. 2" might be too much unless you want that nose in the sky look.

When I measure I got 2 1/8th. Screw with a moon roof.

Do you think you could compress the spring a full 2" while it's still on the truck or would you have to remove the shock and compress it that way. 2" seems like a lot of lift for the front. I guess I need to measure my drop from the back to the front.

Let us know how you measure how, would be nice to get a 2nd on Tone's numbers

The most accurate way to measure is on a flat surface and from the middle of the wheel well to the center of the rim. That way you remove tire air pressure and uneven terrain from the equation.

I just tried to compress the spring enough to put the RPG unit on, I didn't even come CLOSE! I put the truck on a lift and lowered it, full weight, on the outside of the a arm, clamped it on, tightened it as much as I could, then lifted it again. I got MAYBE a 1/4" off the perch in the highest spot. If anyone manages to do it on the truck, my hat is off to you LOL.
