I have about a 4.5" lift using RTE springs in front and the RTE SLS spacers in the rear. So far I haven't had any issues with the ACE, although the vehicle obviously handles nowhere near stock.

However, I recently have noticed a rattle noise coming from my ACE pipes at low RPMs. Interestingly, the noise goes away if you even lightly push on the four pipes entering the pump. The dealer tells me this is because of the lift, but I don't buy that. I think there may be air in the lines or a loose connection.

I had to have my radius arms modified because I lost my caster. The truck works great now.

The US trucks only have 18" to help justify the extra cost of ACE. If this is not correct, someone please correct me. Max T.
