Sucks gotta modify the control arms. I think its funny they say The upper arms are stock length when they arent. Still have the same issue on my cousins ride. Hes probably going to switch out his uppers as well. Other than that rig looks good manAdded Rock Krawlers rear spring correction pads to try to straighten out my rear coils. I ordered 2 sets as they are different heights to be side specific. Synergys coils are already side specific so I need 2 the same height. I used the taller pads as I wanted a bit more height in the rear and ended up with a little over a 1/2" extra lift which should be perfect for towing. Anyway on to the pics.
The pads are only 10 degrees and I need more angle to actually get the coils straight. I'm having this issue because Synergys rear upper control arms minimum length is 18" while the factory upper rear control arms are 17 7/16" I had the lowers stretched out to 20 1/2" to try to compensate but that is a bit far back in the wheel well. I now have them set at 20 1/4" and the coils don't look much different.

After:
The extra height kinda helped the sway bar position but I still have to keep the links near their top height to keep them off the axle. At this point I think the only fix is to shorten the upper control arms. I think I'm gonna put the stock uppers back on next weekend and cut some of the shank off of the Synergy rear UCA joint to get it closer to a stock minimum length.
On the plus side the rear is finally at the height I want for towing.
I need to redistribute the load on my camper somehow to lose some tongue weight as I am well over 200 lbs. Currently I get 1 1/4" of sag with the camper and that's without the freezer fridge in it and loaded.
