I just picked up my truck from the shop. 6” RC with 37x12.50 on 20x10 fuel Mavericks. The front end is higher than the rear end. I mentioned it at the shop, but just figured it was from the paylod of the 4 wheels and tires in the bed.
After getting home and removing the old tires out of the bed...I measured about 11” from the top of the tire to the front fender and about 7.5” from the top of tire to rear fender.
Does this seem right? I was hoping the back would be a little higher. I prefer the raked rear end higher look.

Did they miss installing the rear coil spacers???

Something is not installed properly, if at all. It sounds like they didn't put in a rear spacer almost. Your nose is almost 3.5" taller than the tail. The rear spacer should be 4" which would give you .5" of rake. I would take a look and make sure it is there. I'm betting it isn't. In that case, I would want to make sure and see if they installed any of the other components for the rear as well.

that looks like somethings missing in the rear to me. looks like it would rub like crazy, especially if you put anything substantial in the bed.

there should be a 6" spacer on top of the rear springs and the longer rough country shocks(plus a bunch of other little brackets for track bars/brake lines/etc) i'd get under it and at least look for the spring spacer and shocks.

Let us know what you find. Something is definitely missing in the rear.

I just got time to get underneath it.. the RC rear shocks are in there and looks like there’s a lot of new brackets/bars/etc... I’m not seeing a rear coil spacer though. Definitely nothing that looks like an obvious spacer as in the RC installation guide picture. I’m taking it back in first thing in the morning.

Agree, something doesn’t seem right. I too like a little rake even with a lift. I had the 3 1/2” lift installed which only came with a 1” block for the rear, made the rear look “squatty”. I then purchased a 2 1/2” rear block from Southern Truck and swapped them. Much better now!

Well I just got the truck back, the guys at the shop apparently completely missed the rear coil spacers. I let them have it pretty good... How does that even happen?? It makes me question the integrity of the entire install... Anyways, truck looks much much better now. And they’ve assured me they double checked everything this time.

That thing is a BEAST!

Can't believe those tires fit the stock rear suspension!
