Hey folks,
I new here but not new to trucks. I've got a stock 03 Ram 1500 2wd. I put a 3 inch RC lift on it to beef it up but now my control arms are smacking into my shock towers, my sway bar is way out of line and it actually just sheered off one of the sway bar links. I have no other lift installed and RC sent me new springs thinking they shipped me the wrong ones and i am back in the same boat.... thoughts??

Thanks
FNG

Can you post some pics. What did the kit come with. Before I installed my kit I had a 3 inch spacer and that had the geometry of my parts bending all kind of ways.

Ok yeah I see one way to fix that get adjustable control arms. Another thing is maxtrac lift spindles there much better than the spacer

Lift spindles was the direction I was headed but I didn't want to spend 500 bucks if I didn't have to since RC swears everything is correct. Also there isn't a spacer, the rubber is the isolator.
