It's because of an increased droop angle of the rear trailing arm.

2.5" Lift Kit and exhaust w/ quad exhaust tips installed

I like this a lot. Nice work.Did a custom 2.5 inch lift and custom exhaust.
Exhaust details:
Custom 2.5 pipe from the cat back replaced resonator with Borla s-type custom y-pipe with quad tips
You seem to ignore the questions of how you achieved 2.5"? Did you combine kits to get the 2.5"? The tallest available I'm seeing is 2".
If the Pros (I'm talking FordRangerLifts, Rough Country, Belltech, etc.) are only making 1.5"-2" front kits, I assume that's because 2" is the upper limit for simple spacers before other things need substantially reworked. I'm curious to know how long until you run into issues. Folks have already had CV related problems with just the 2".
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. If this is your only mode of transportation and you're doing it for the haters or the 'gram (as my 15 yo would say), you might rethink your path. I've learned similar lessons the hard way more often than not.
Stay safe,

My theory is that maybe the build shop is working on a kit and doesnt want him to tell any details yet if its not perfected yet. Or they are using his truck to test the CVs and have a deal to fix it if there is signs of wear.
Just theories, and I would love to know myself.

Dave it was added half inch to the spacers custom made by custom shop. I bought the kit from rough country gave to the shop to modify the design. They also added a modify extension to the trailer arm. Once they were done they did a 4 wheel alignment to make sure all suspension is working properly. They do this for a living. So my ride and drive of the truck is excellent.

You're correct. They modify the design to my lift. It's all covered by the custom shop. So when everyone asking what kit I got. From rc and then modified. It's too much to give all the details. But it drives great. Then I give my feedback to the shop. Down the road I'll be doing a bigger lift and custom all the suspension.
Thats cool! I can guess how the spacer were extended. Any chance you want to show off your custom trailing arms. I am planning on buying replacement ones when they become available and redesigning them as a a boxed unit. Mostly for a durability of them from any impact damage standpoint. Will likely build in a drop and extension to make it fit the arc of my lift height. I might go against the popular style and raise the rear of mine more than the front. It makes sense since the departure angle is greater than the approach. Plus Im getting a topper and will use it like a truck. So the suspension will be well laden. I would love to be able to get it to 3" of lift or more. With a 31" tire that would make pretty serious ground clearance.
