I have the RCX 4” also. Strut and coil spacers should be visible.

Only have these two pics of the front at the moment, I can snap a few of the back after work.



It looks like you have the dif/control arm drop brackets, but do not have the strut spacers. Are the struts stock or aftermarket adjustable?


It’s a long shot, but maybe a previous owner tried to return it to stock?

I can see the strut spacers fairly easily. My front struts were stock until today or tomorrow when I put the Pro Comp front struts on. They’ll still be stock height but I’m putting in new stock springs from Mopar as it seemed like my old springs were shot. Most people will notice the strut and spring than the spacer at the top unless they know what to look for. If the spacer on your Kit isn’t black, have them paint it a flat black and it won’t be noticeable.

Thank you for the pics! You can see that on my rig, the previous owner didn’t install the spacers. I ordered the RC 4” lift struts yesterday to correct this. Also since they struts look factory, the least i can do is install new ones.

Sounds like a good plan to me.
When my factory struts finally kick the bucket, I’m planning to go with the bill stein 5100’s and maybe go up another 1 or 2”.

Oh, and here’s a pic of the rear RC spacers.

Sorry. I’m over 700 miles from my truck until Friday night. I will gladly take pictures of the spacers front and rear with my new shocks, struts, and springs on Saturday morning for you.

So should the sway bar be at that 45 degree angle upwards?
Technically no it should be parallel ttyl the ground. Pointing upwards isn't necessarily bad either. I personally run with no sway bars. Sorry for the late reply got really busy

Thank you everyone for your responses. It helped me get a better understanding of how my rig should be and what was missing.

Glad to help. I’m also thinking of doing the Kicker braces from Rough Country and a Hellwig rear sway bar and adjustable links to help the steering and reduce sway. The Hellwig rear sway bar links are like 3 times thicker than the ones that came with the lift kit (if they even did come with it) and have had great reviews on here.

Everything seems to be there with the exception of the spacers (front and back).
My lift struts arrived today, can’t wait to install them!

Just an update...
Crawled under the bed of the truck and stand corrected. Rear spacers are there.
So I got out the measuring tape and the front is 41.5 inches from ground to fender. The back is at 41”.
Looks like I can return my lift struts. I concluded that they installed lift struts.
Saved me $250 lol
Just gotta return them.
