Okay...now I have Mid Perch. Had a bit of a miscommunication with the shop and ended up with Top Perch for a few weeks. I had a feeling something wasn't right when i continually got the middle finger for my lights blinding them.

At least the shop was willing to change it for me due to the miscommunication.

IMO it comes down to personal preference on the look between mid and top. Both settings ride nice.

I have a 2013 on order and plan to change perch setting as soon as I can. That being siad does the RPG front A arm correct the issue with the driveshafts angle, or do they need to be longer?

Haven't done it yet just haven't had time yet

I would love to do this now that I won't ever be towing with it. But I won't let anyone touch my vehicles and I think this is significantly more involved for the benefit I would get driving it in beach traffic.

I did the spacer as opposed to the perch, I did not want to make it ride harder or loose any spring travel.... so why no poll option for no adjustment or spacer?

because nobody here likes the spacer

Is there anything bad for the truck when using the spacer?

look up the thread about perch mod vs leveling kit. apparently the leveling kit tears up the cv axles.

My personal and expensive experience in my 2012 on top perch. Do not do it. 2012 and up on top perch or leveling kit (with or without aftermarket upper control arms) WILL destroy cv boots/shafts! The torsen and top perch/leveling kit do NOT play nice together. It puts the cv joints close to bind angles at full droop/full lock of steering wheel. You can away with it if you do not use 4wd. Once you shift into 4wd and the cv joints start spinning, it will pinch and destroy the cv boot.
