Welcome, first off! Glad you could join us.

Second off, a ready lift on a 4wd could be dangerous. Any outside the strut spacer on our 4wd platforms allow too mch deflection of our cv shaft.

This is a poll of the usual setups. Notice how ready lift is at 0%

I'd research more and consider changing it out with something safer.
