If you keep it on and it's more than a 2in kit then the cv angles will be way off. The angles may not be right on, even with a 2in or less leveling kit and that might be why they want you to take it off.

Sell it on eBay or list it here in the classifieds if you don't want it anymore.

A 2.5 leveling kit puts an extreme angle on the upper ball joint and cv shaft that could cause premature wear and/or failure. A 1.5" or 2" kit doesn't put such a severe angle on these items. If it is a pro comp lift using the huge spacers do not stack spacers at all!!!!

4wp will not stack any kind of lift together weather its a suspension lift
body lift or leveling kit
they will do any by there self but not together
with them being a nation wide corporation they just have to much liability {at least thats what they told me in the past}

I put it on myself and had 4WP align my truck, they said they could not guarentee the alignment because of the spacer....also said that it would void my Fabtech warranty which i also installed myself, but i like the look and feel the 2inch is not that big of a strain perse, on the suspension.

if its a pro comp stage 1 lift which uses a spacer to achieve the lift, i wouldnt suggest doing it. Fabtech is another story...you can pull it off with that lift.

Keep it on! I had a 2.5" on but the angle were to extreme. I`m going to try a 2" in the near future.

?Anyone out there need a AS 2.5" or trade for a AS 2" ?
