Thats your driver side, what does your psg look like? Driver side is dropped more than the psg side. I have problems with the psg side working on a solution as i type this.

Just took my truck into the shop to do some front end work and alignment. Shop told me my RC upper balljoints are just totalled...I installed the kit maybe 2 months ago now. Thankfully though, RC is sending me out two new replacement ball joints for free!

That's one thing I didn't care for on this kit were the pressed in ball joints.
I really like some tubular upper control arms that have bolt in joints & Delrin bushings that are greaseable, but I couldn't find any for 4x4 only lowered S10's unless I wanted to pay $500 +.

Ive had mine in 5 mths now and not a problem other than the binding cv when going over bumps and dips on the hwy.

Just wondering what ride height your riding at? Measured front the center of the wheel to bottom of the fender. Im at 21" as suggested in the instructions.

I also have a 3" BL & measuring to the center of the hub really isn't possible because the tires stick out so far - hence the 4" fender flares. But I have noticed the gap seems smaller on the PS compared to the DS but the vehicle sits level.

I made a build with pics but i figured id add to this thread since I did get the 2.5" RC Kit. So far it is working great.












I got both fenders trimmed in front and behind the tires but as I was turning into my uphill driveway real fast it rubbed so i guess if i just dont go to quick up big curbs ill be ok.
