6" lift tech question
I Put a 6" lift on my truck and there was a rubber spacer on top of my strut thats about 2" thick , well when i put the lift on it i put that rubber peice back in there....... well now my lift is done my top a-arm is layin on my strut as u can see in the pics below. Should i take the rubber peice out or let it stay like it is? Some people are tellin me that it will be ok , I wanted to ask some of yall.

Holy ball joint angle.
You instructions should have told you what to do. If that is a stock spacer, and it said to remove it them this would be a good idea. Not being familiar with this particular lift leaves me scratching my head.
Having fixed and dragged out many three wheeled trucks, I can tell you that this ball joint angle is far too much and you are already at the end of the working limits of the ball joint and upper control arm. Is this picture at full suspension extension, or is the weight on the truck now? It appears that you have very limited suspension extension, and one good bump is goint to seperate the ball joint. That thing will pop like a grape and come apart. I see a craddle under the truck that I assume lowered the lower control arms, but that upper angle appears to be far too great. Did this kit not come with provisions to correct this? Usually a longer knuckle is provided to raise the attachment point to lessen the angle, or the mounting point at the frame is lowered.
That angle would have me a little worried.
