I have the RC 3.5” lift on my ‘21. 3500 miles so far. Zero issues. I used their lifted struts instead of the spacers. I’m also a RC dealer and installer and we’ve never had any issues with any of their products that we’ve installed. I find them the easiest to deal with and they’re priced very fair.

What wheel and tire setup do you have here? Also, how far outside the wheel well are they with the flares you have?

These are the factory flares like what would be on the Laramie. Wheels are Vision 20x9 with a 0 offset. Mickey Thompson Baja Boss at 35x1250x20.

Looks great. Do the tires stick outside the fenders much?

Thinking of this RC 3.5'' setup. But, I want actual lift springs for the rear. Probably the Bilstein 1.5'' springs. Kind of silly, some sites say they lift 1'', others say 1.5''. Which one is it?

the kit with lifted struts means you don't have to mess with pre-load spacers. I'd do that over a spacer or the bilsteins where you are just cranking the pre-load (same effect as a spacer)

Also to answer my own comment above, UCA angles are normal once it's on the ground. Just installed the 3.5 struts, UCAs, V2 shocks, and clayton 3.5" rear coils. Haven't swapped tires yet, so I can confirm that the lift rides as good as stock, and handling is better since it's not so soft.
Boss of a set up! I am piecing mine together to do the same. Any idea what the part # is for those springs?
