I hope you can see the pictures on the following link. I did some pictures.
I think the rods didn't make their work on the front side...

HERE ARE THE PICTURES:

Default Rod height pics

Hey Boneless here's how my truck looks with the rods. I haven't had a chance to take a pic of my rods side by side yet, had to change out 4 belts in the wife's volvo 240. Many rusted bolts, 4 hours long and tons of swearing.
Your truck should look like its in offroad height with the rods. Take a look at the pics of mine.

Your back looks right but your front looks wonky.

I wonder if the front rods in your kit were defective.

Thanks!

But I don't understand, why not rise the front up These are simple parts, "like a screw".. Why not work? Maybe the sensor broken? Is it possible? But when I switch Off-Road Height both of sides rises up. And the front is rises fast like the rear to off road height. But Normal Height not okay, what you saw in the pictures

Height problem solved, but the Suspension warning light still make problem when driving fast on concrete.
I remove the Rock Armor Rods, and set the originals back. Then me and the mechanic set the height on the Computer(like the GAP IIDTOOL) with a Bosch Diagnostic System and we can save the settings. So the car looks like off road mode and doesn't need rods.

But, when I driving on concrete and the car's sensors perceive the flat ground, the car drop the suspension fault light on the dashboard and drop the car to the bump stops or Access mode? (lowest mode)

We can read some issue codes with the Bosch Diagnostic and it shows the problem is in the Rear right wheel...

I have no idea what could be the problem.

Probly bad wiring or bad right rear height sensor, code?

I would be checking the wiring and plug on that sensor, this may have been the problem the entire time

Do you have nav? If so go to your offroad 4x4 setting and see if the right rear wheel is bouncing around or hanging lower than the rest of the wheels on the screen. Sometimes there will be a red line on the wheel.

I haven't got a NAV system, but we read the codes: u0421 c1a751 c1a0762 c1a0054

The mechanic sad, the compressor can't hold the height when driving, and overheat.(But that just when driving fast on concrete). He suggests try to clean the filter in the compressor or change it for an Arnott, because it has bigger performance, but it so expensive.
