thank you!
More of a hassle because there's less room between the 2 spoilers to work with. Installed my 4 inch E-Ram super fast today. Pics to come.

Thank you for the insight! That makes sense.
would love to see stock, 2 inch and 4 inch pics if you have them for comparison.
having a hard time deciding which ones to go with.

looks like a great product and will be ordering one end of next week just not sure which one!
what I’ll end up doing is just going out to the car with a tape measure and try to see where they’d sit!

I would go with the 3" if I had to do it again.

The 2" is a bit of a PITA because as was said above, because the 2" lift is shorter, there is not enough room to work the pin wrench around in the same fashion that you would have if the rams sat higher. As a result you need to do some additional removal. I ended up with the wing sitting about 1/4" higher off the bottom wing as a result when the spoiler is retracted. I am pretty sure if I disassembled I could adjust, but to be honest, don't really want to and it looks completely fine. If you didn't own the car before you wouldn't have any idea, it looks completely stock and normal.

I personally don't care for the 4". I think it looks too tall in the photos. I think the 3" is the sweet spot and the extra $100 will save you some labor time so it's worth it.

I think the 3" eRam works well with the overall proportions. I originally installed the 4", but swapped to the 3" after a couple of months. Dave is very helpful with installation guidance (if needed) and support.

This is the 3" eRam kit...

Really like the look of the 3" kit, thanks for sharing. Prior owner replaced the hydraulics on an extended warranty within last few years so think I'll be good for awhile but when it happens again I'll definitely go this route. Nice visual improvement and love that it is a relatively simple DIY.
