@Roky I think I'm safe in that regard. I had them install fox 2.0 shocks for 2-3 inch lifts.
Ok..... wouldn’t hurt to stuff the wheel and see if your shock is bottoming out, if it is, then let tire down a 1/2” and measure the distance between the upper bump housing and the bump pad. That’s how much you should run. My guess is 2” would do it. But.... if you don’t wheel it that hard you can let it ride. It just pisses me off that these so called “shops” don’t know or don’t care about properly installing lifts, that includes cycling the suspension to check things out....... ok rants over......:computerrage:

Ok. Thanks again for the great advice!

@hoag4147 @Roky are the correction pads you posted the same pads that normally come in the RK kit? If so, I will ask the shop to order them AND insist they install them for free since it was their negligence that caused all of this. But if the correction pads are different than the pads in the kit, I may just order the correction pads on my dime and then insist they install them for free (again because this is due to their negligence).

It’s the ones that come in the kit....... the taller rear passenger perch is RKs way of making the springs corner specific like the oem springs. The factory springs are corner specific to compensate for the added weight on the passenger side due to gas tank and batteries. Diesel and maybe 4xe being the exceptions. Besides that shop wouldn’t know the difference, just tell them what to order, from what I’m getting from that shop, they’d probably prefer it.

Looks like RK may have changed the rear part number. Here is snapshots from their website. I know number @Roky provided also shows up, so not sure.

@hoag4147 @Roky Glad you pointed that out. PN# RK06703K for the rear has at the bottom *For use with standard JL springs. So it makes sense that they look identical. I guess I need to give them the PN# for the side specific rear springs then.

Sorry, not trying to confuse things, but didn't see on their website. I would trust Roky on this one :)

That’s correct, the part # with the K at the end both sides are the same height.

Good to know. Definitely do NOT want to install them.

Sure no worries, give em hell!
Well, I'm back, the shop is only about 10 minutes from my house. I didn't even have to give em Hell. The manager came out, I explained, he took pictures and said he doesn't see any reason they can't make this right for me. I gave him the PN#s and he said he'd make some calls and to expect a call back from him in about an hour with the follow up plan.

Nice. Hopefully they can turn around quickly.
