Front end alignment was done at time lift was put on. Idk what to think but i had them trim a little to clear and it barely rubbed at all except for certain turns on hills, but now its rubbing like crazy and even bouncing enough on the highway to rub a little. So i told him the front has definitely dropped a little and he says theres no way anything could sag.

This is Exactly why I won't Lift or Level my vehicles!

Did you take it back in after 1500 miles to get everything torqued again? I was told by my install shop to bring it back in so they could make sure everything was still holding tight.
Something on yours has to be loose or has moved IMO

Yes i went back in after 10 days like he said and they did a quick glance and said everythings good. He did not offer to throw it on the rack and align it because they send it to another shop to do that all he offered was calling about the spacer to see if we could get it leveled out.

guys weather has been really bad here. I tried to take a pic today but its not something thats noticable on a picture. Its only dropped mayb another inch since it was lifted. Its obvious to me by how much rubbing is going on now that wasnt going on before. I wish i could show you though.

Exactly, heard nothing but horror stories. Leave a brand new truck alone and experiment on a cheap used truck. Rake is there to use it as a truck and not have ridiculous rear sag when towing or loading up the bed. Level kits make trucks look weak with a nose high, rear low stance doing anything but being a commuter.
My coworker was talking about his level kit today. He admitted he just uses the truck as a car, and it never sees anything on the hitch or in the bed.
Each to their own, but I'm definitely against them.
Op, good luck with getting it fixed. I'd just put it back to normal, with original parts, and chalk it up as experience. Maybe you can even sell the kit.

That would definitely drive me nuts...not as bad as I had anticipated, but definitely sagging.
