Thanks for the replies! @The Raven, just shot you a message.

I'm only looking to raise the front of my 2021 Custom Trail boss by a ~1/2 inch which should only need a ~3/8" thick strut spacer to do this. I can't find ANYTHING ANYWHERE with information for a ~1/2 lift. There are 4 kits that I am aware of for a 2021 Trail Boss which use a combo of different upper strut spacers, lower strut spacers, & preloads (that are not just one solid thick block) which I could probably only partially install to get 1/2". Can anyone who has either of these kits please let me know the thicknesses of the components (primarily upper/lower strut spacer thickness)? Rough Country: 1.5 inch Leveling Kit (#1321) - Upper Strut Spacer & Preload MotoFab: 2 inch Leveling Kit (#TB-2) - Lower Strut Spacer & Preload ReadyLift: 2" SST Lift Kit (#69-3920) - Upper Strut Spacer & Preload ReadyLift: 1.5" SST Lift Kit (#69-3920) - Upper Strut Spacer & Lower Strut Spacer I'm also open if anyone knows of a soecific 1/2" lift option without having to only use part of one of the kits above. Any and all help appreciated!

@Newfie1980, if you end up going the Pulsar LT route post a follow-up & let me know how it worked out. Curious if this was a one-off fix that just worked well because of my own driving style & habits, or if this would be a generic fix for anyone going the muffler delete route before I recommend to anyone else. But either way, would definitely recommend the Pulsar LT for the throttle alone. Set to +30% (30mph in the settings) is the perfect sweet spot and makes a huge difference.

Hey bud, I'm from NL too (Torbay). Made an account just to reply since I JUST went through this last week. Just did the MBRP muffler delete last week. I noticed a TON of drone on highway as well... BUT I found a "fix". Now it's almost silent on highway cruise but deadly if you lay into it. Found it takes 2 things. 1) When I cut the muffler, I left the flapper valve in place but locked it open (popped the spring off, turned the valve, put spring back in last groove to keep it open). The whole point of the flapper valve is to lower the exhaust sound/drone at low rpm. I was finding most of my drone was at the 1,500-2,000 rpm range so I figured I'd try undoing the locked open mod. This helped SOME, but not all drone. 2) I also noticed that when I got into the throttle heavier, a lot of the drone went away - but after cruising again light throttle it would come back full force. Started playing around with how my throttle input affected it. Came to the conclusion that at the same 1,500-2,000 rpm range the drone was WILDLY different and quieter the more aggressive I was. It also seemed the higher the frequency of the engine noise, the lower the drone. Came to the conclusion from both those tests that something about the DFM dropping cylinders down from 8 made the drone WAY worse. ESPECIALLY if I was light on throttle, then started to go up an incline (almost like when it was trying to use fewer cylinders and the demand was just barely not enough to get all 8 to fire) it was like a trombone next to your head in the truck. I bought a Pulsar LT, deactivated DFM, deactivated stop/start, set throttle to +30%. Dude, honestly NIGHT AND DAY difference. Truck is damn near stock silent at cruise. Drone all but eliminated - sometimes it'll start to sound like it's going to hit that steady drone note (same situation where cruising and starting a slight incline - like it would need to drop a gear but not enough yet to drop down) but it never hits that steady drone sound & barely touching the throttle gets it to drop that gear & any small sign of that drone goes away. Hope that helps. I had the same regret as you after doing it - now I would do my setup a 1000 times again.
