The 3.5 RE leafs supposedly net up to 4.5"-5" of lift. In my opinion, that's just as big of a quality control issue as RC's short eye-to-eye leafs. Just food for thought.

They net that much, so if you run big bumpers, heavy cargo, or something of that nature, it won't sag.

I would like to know the quality issues since I have none with my Re lift. Also I have the 3.5" springs and stock shackle with a good angle and it flexes well. It's also on 33's

When I first installed he lift I was at 4.5" front 5.5 rear for a few weeks. It has settled to 3.75/4"

If its even with the front then the extra lift is just an added bonus lol

Not to mention the company (Ballistic Fab) that is selling the kit in the OP has an absolute terrible reputation. I wouldn't buy anything they sell just based on that.
