It'll be nose high. With the new Rcx kit you won't 've able to get as much lift as the older. Older came with springs we are able to add spacers. Now the lift being achieved by spacers it sucks.
Maybe order rear lift springs from another kit.

Did you figure out what that spacer was for??

I am expecting my lift to be here in two days and I am trying to find all and any issues that I might have during my install.

Thanks

Those look like the pre-loaded spacer for the front. They started sending the 4in top spacer with the 6in lift and added the 2in pre-loaded spacer. now you have to take your strut apart and put them on top of the spring then put it back together that's how they are getting the 6in lift in the front now. But I don't know the reason behind it. Maybe its not causing as munch bind so the ball joint wont pop out on the 2013-14 rams. If you look on there web site all they are doing is putting there 2.5 level with there 4in kit and calling it 6in now.

The new instructions on their website show it at step 41, seems simple.

I start my lift first thing in the morning.

Does anyone know if you have to torque EVERY nut and bolt on this isntall?
The instructions break down all the torques, but I do not know if the **MM torque table is for the wrench or actual nut size?

I torqued all of my stuff for my install. I know that my Zone instructions had torque for everything.

usually torque tables are for the bolt size, not wrench or nut/head but physical bolt diameter
