Observations From a Trip Towing.....

[Racket]

It's just something I accept. No "fix" for it that I know of. Read thru their site, and owners statements, indicate almost all makes/models had rear raised a bit.
Also went to a slightly larger tire size in a 10 ply tire, and it was an inch larger diameter, so 1/2 inch higher. I also have a 2 wheel drive, with upgraded shocks and Sump Blues, but my springs are stock.

I went through their FAQ page as well and it seems to depend on preload tension dialed in when installing. If you only got a half inch that wouldn't be so bad as opposed to the one inch lift of the reviewer in the image I posted. Sounds like you installed them in a manner that would be appropriate for a light/mixed/intermediate hauler like me. I don't suppose there was any settling in height, and did the 'Ranger Lean' become more or less apparent?
From their site again:

Yes, RoadActive Suspension does typically raise the rear unloaded ride height by .5''- 1.5''. The exact amount will vary based on the vehicle, condition of the leaf springs, the kit part number and most importantly the tension set on the spring upon initial install.

My 2021 never had the "Ranger Lean, that i have been able to determine, and it sits on a level garage floor, so I would have definitely noticed.
And to be perfectly honest, the rear end/rear bed height has never bothered me. High for a moderately size truck...yeah, but I've owned other trucks, one of which was n F-350 dually which was real high. Lot's here complain about it, but than again, many go and raise their trucks or put huge tires on, which also raise the rear.
Driving solo, the system isn't noticeable until you take curves and corners...then it acta like a sway bar.
It's when I hook our travel trailer up with it's 700 lb tongue weight, that it really becomes noticeable. Acts like an air bag set up, and at speed, much more stable than it was when I started towing with out it.
My install...I used the thicker washer to gain the heavier application...maybe went a scooch over due to the heavy tongue weight. Not noticeable when solo, but big difference towing.

@Grumpaw what sort of shocks did you end up putting in? I have a 4x4 Lariat with a service body instead of the bed. The service body weighs a bit more than the bed did (perhaps 200lbs, although unfortunately I don't actually know how much) and I occasionally tow a car trailer as well. I have airbags on the truck now (necessary with the service bed otherwise I bottomed out the suspension). I get a fair amount of continued bounce after impacs that make me think a shock with more rebound damping might help. I've mailed RAS about that active suspension to see if it's compatible with the air bags, but curious what other shocks might be available.

I'm also in the boat of not wanting to raise the truck, at the moment the height is such that even with the service body it fits in my garage if it went much higher I'm not sure it would fit and that's a big no.

I installed a rear set of Eibach Pro Truck Sport's. Helped the rear a lot, still running the OE on the front.
Also have a set of the Blue Sumo Bump Stops which also helped a lot.
And, my Ranger is a 2 wheel drive, so didn't need anything heavier than the Eibach's.
