I see this issue being discussed and want to add that having recently installed a lift, I am concerned that to get my alignment into spec, I have to leave 1/2" to 3/4" between bump stop (low profile) and upper control arm. I had this set, but the angle of the CV seemed too much. I know the device is designed flex, but everything has its limits. I would rather not push this part of my truck beyond its limits.
Thus, I am now running 1" gap and have some serious camber issues.
I am concerned that too much focus on an RTI score would be deceptive. I have a problems if the focus of the aftermarket is just being able to score well on the RTI. If the result of this is having issues with damage, I would rather have less travel and longer life for parts to my truck.
Just my thoughts
