SWAY-A-WAY

they make coilover for our trucks, Direct fit. They make longer ones for us running 6" of lift. They are fully adjustable up to 2" of xtra lift. Very high quality product.

Be careful here bud, I am not 100% on this, but I believe the rcd lift comes as a 4.5" lift.... then adjustable to 6" right ? I think that they already do a spacer type lift, putting your cv and ball joints at a pretty good angle already.

Coilover would help smooth out the ride, but you would not be able to adjust them up for the extra 2".

Correct....the RCD kit set at the 6" height gets the extra 1.5" by using a "leveling" shock which creates the same angles as a 4.5" lift with a 1.5" spacer/leveling kit.

My lift isn't even on yet and I'm thinking about getting some coilovers to add to my fabtech kit.

What is the going rate on the dirt logics for an upgrade to the fabtech 6" kit?

All I needed was a ballpark, so that gets me there. Now I know I really do need to wait about a year and just enjoy my truck with 6" and 35's before I can justify the upgrade

i emailed downsouthmotorsports about their king coils for our trucks. they were quick in reply and really helpful. he said they build them alot for people who need them for 6+'' lifts. Such as the ones that come with the 8'' rize kit. then i asked if he could make a 10'' one. said hell get back to me on monday. they are 1600 for a pair. and come with everything to install and mount the sick resivoir in your wheel well.

if anyone else wants to go in on this ill ask if he can shed a couple bucks off with a few people
