well i just ordered my rcd lift for my truck from off road warehouse for 1,550. Am I going to be able to run my stock wheels and tires for a month or so because the guy I talked to said that I would not be able too. I hope I made a good decision cause spending that much money at once really makes me nervous.

 

You can run stock tires...but be careful on turns...you just made your truck very top heavy! Hope this helps...

"...the road curves to the right and there are a lot of signs that say you cannot turn left...TURN LEFT."

 

Good Choice.

Just wait till you see how small those stock tires look. It will look very similar to snowball's truck with Whiplash kit with 36's.

While in 4wd? No.

I do have a little vibration in the rear(?) when first starting to go. I think it is my brakes sticking, though. Somedays it won't happen at all and others it will happen most of the time. I sure this is not related to the lift.

 

Good choice. I`m very happy w/ my RCD lift.

 

a vibration after you lift your truck happens sometimes. A bearing that is slightly worn or your drive shaft is slightly out of balance can cause a vibration. You wont feel it at a stock level. the lift changes the harmonics of the vibration. It can also be that your driveshaft or rearend angle needs to be corrected or shifted.
