Wow. That's a great attitude for folks that are trying to help you. Maybe you should consider reading what was posted as well. The throttle body spacer conversation was just an example of a company making/marketing a product, and making claims that are totally inaccurate.... And people that don't know any better still buy them...... Just like those shock spacers.

Mentioning that you had coilovers on your rear shocks would have been good in the original post.... Of course they are going to lift the rear more. That is what they are DESIGNED for. The problem becomes, your shock mounts are NOT designed to SUPPORT weight. The tend to tear off if you load up the truck on a regular basis. Won't that be fun?

There is a lot of knowledge to be shared here, from folks that have been doing this for a long time. If you chose to ignore what we want to tell you, that is completely on you, as will be the consequences.

Just keep in mind, if you ask a question you don't think you are going to like the answer to, expect an answer that you don't like. Seem reasonable?

I could make a political reference, but I don't think it's even necessary thanks to context clues.

I agree with you.
