Following for more info, may have to swap out the kit I have ordered for this.

It is stated there are two kits.4 inch over what? Base .......SaS
The major issue is the maximum CV angle which occurs at full droop. If that is too big, the CV will jam and break something. The total lift impacts the typical CV angle (additional wear, but not destruction).Wouldn’t that still be the same amount of lift and therefore stress on the CVs? Regardless if the lift is from a perch or spacer, either way you are still elongating the overall length of the coilover from the bucket mount to the mounting point on the LCA - pushing down the LCA and making the actual lift happen. Unless you have different steering knuckles like that come on big 6” diff drop kits, , that attachment point on the knuckle for the CV is still going to be in the same spot, and it’s going to be pushed 3” lower because the LCA is 3” lower. I’m not a professional engineer so I could be wrong, but my basic knowledge of these kinds of lifts makes me think it’s still going to stress CV joints at that amount of lift, regardless of where the lift comes from.
I asked RPG a few days ago if they would consider this since they have collars for sale already. They told me that they had already looked into it, but were busy on other things at the moment. A 1" spacer and 1-1.25" perch collar on front SAS and 1-1.25" on rear might be a good low cost solution for 37's (perhaps only $300 if factory uca is ok). I wouldn't mind starting with a low cost option, and waiting to see what coilover solutions come out.Maybe a collar and a spacer combined
Which is exactly what I'm thinking for my SaS
Don't want to stiffen the springs up to much and kill the ride so maybe 1 inch and 1 inch respectively
Additionally, as the lower control arms get farther from horizontal, ride quality often suffers.If you are doing it to look cool, probably ok.
Regardless, nice to see people adding options to the after market.
I wouldnt wheel in it though.
Hell thats easy, there are plenty of perch collars out there specially from the roundy round world.I asked RPG a few days ago if they would consider this since they have collars for sale already. They told me that they had already looked into it, but were busy on other things at the moment. A 1" spacer and 1-1.25" perch collar on front SAS and 1-1.25" on rear might be a good low cost solution for 37's (perhaps only $300 if factory uca is ok).

I don't read it as 4" OVER SAS... but 4" total as it says : "Both kits provide about 4” of total lift". That is how their IG post reads as well (). Perhaps I'm reading it wrong, but I don't think it looks like 4" OVER SAS.It is stated there are two kits.
4" lift over stock Sasquatch
4" lift over non-Sasquatch
