Too early to tell, but I will update once I have had more time driving it.

Yeah over all mine looked lower but mine was a different kit. But I lowered
the front a tad more after the 2/4 to 3/4. You can tell yours is lowered and almost level all around.

It's been riding like sh*t in the back, something is rattling a lot, especially on bumps and when turning. It feels like something is hitting under the bed. I will inspect tomorrow morning to make sure there are no loose bolts. But it doesn't ride right.

I'm not familiar with that kit but if it used long drop shackles the bed need to be trimmed for clearance(I had to trim mine to clear the belltech shackles).

Thanks but that can't be it, it's using the stock shackles and new de-arched leaf springs

The thumping/rattling noise only comes from the rear driver's side when I hit any small bump in the road, I have a feeling it is the ground force shock absorber that came with the kit. I'm taking it back to the shop next week so they can inspect it.

Dumb comment but I had the same problem with the bottom of the shackle making contact with the wheel well liner. idk what your setup looks like but it's an idea.

Do you have any "large" friends? I had a few of my friends jump together in the bed to find my problem.
