GEN 2 RPG installed

Wish I lived close to rpg, their price for install of the collars is great from what I have heard. Plus I would have them put on the new uca, those are sweet. I do not need them, but its only money right.

We have had both collars level the truck. The springs are so soft in these Gen 2 Raptors that no two trucks are identical. You will always have a little variation in each truck. You are literally splitting hairs between the two collars. I've been asking the customers to go out and actually take measurements and tell me what they want to yield or if they have aftermarket bumpers, winches and etc. Tires, (and tire pressure) wheel combo also makes a difference.

If i had a '17, I'd personally go with a 3" collar up front, and stage 3 (Deaver +3 spring) package in the rear to gain clearance to run almost any true 37" tire /wheel combo out there. That's the package that is getting extremely popular with folks coming in the shop for installs. It's a lot more aggressive stance.

With the 3" collars and Stage 3 (Deaver +3) package, Measurements were 43.5" both front and rear from the level concrete to the top of the wheel well with stock 35" tires/wheels.

Got them done. Spring compressors I rented from AutoZone sucked big time and wasted a little bit of time. Someone had abused them in the past.

Best I can tell it is very close to level. Happy with the results, it isn't completely level but looks a ton better. Front 43 15/16" to fender flare and rear is 44 3/4"

Question for the crew... Noticed when I put the drivers side back that the spring isn't indexed all the way against the black plastic perch pocket on the bottom. I'm about 3/8" turned. Must've scooted when I was putting back together. I'm not using this compressors again, they are junk. Should I go grab another pair and adjust the spring index or is that little bit fine?

With this setup you'd be looking at a 2" increase in overall ride height, right? +1" from the Deavers and +1" from the 37" tires?
