What's the current center of wheel hub to fender lip measure?
Yes and then I had another place redo it. It has been re torqued with weight on it. Again, I can achieve the numbers before driving it so it is clearly a shock issue after driving.

And D2 Autosports is having the same problem. They happen to see me at an event and asked me about it also.

The fix is to cut down the shock mounts by 3/4 inch to allow normal shock travel and then I will be right where it should be!

The springs are correct for that drop, it's a shock problem!

Still I ask for your measurement from center of the wheel hub to fender lip. I personally think you're not telling the whole truth. You say 3 sets of coils at 3 different shops? I know for a fact you haven't received 3 sets of coils because you refuse to return the original set like they have asked you.

So find a shock you like. Why keep bashing RM?

Looks pretty good to me.

Best part about the pic you posted is that there are 4 cement blocks in the rear to achieve the look! Yes it looks great!

I shouldn't have to find a shock, it's supposed to work as us!

In your defence Justin. They really should have gave a disclaimer that the shocks would act differently with the trailer tow package(a common chosen option). Or did they?

So answer the question. Did they send you 3 sets of coils. Yes or no? And why won't you do as they are asking and return the original set?

These are designed to work with the load leveling and won't work with the standard shocks.

I have 2 sets that don't do what they state and the 3rd set that I have personally seen is the D2 Autosports. 3 sets of springs, 3 different installers.

Since they won't return my emails when I ask about these problems, I'm not sending anything back and going out of my way for them. I'd be willing to drive them to them if they were going to make things right!
