RCD Suspension
Does anybody know anything about the RCD lift.
I was lookin into it with a guy from my offroad shop and it seems a pretty good lift as far as construction and performance with the all around bilsteins.
Let me know what yall think.
thanks.

Yes the RCD kit is very solid and well put together, but it's also a little pricey compared to other 6" kits.
You can buy all 4 Bilstein shocks that RCD uses in their kit for $429.
The cheapest I've seen the RCD kit for was $2300.
The cheapest I've seen the Fabtech kit for was $1400.
So if you buy the Fabtech kit and add the Bilstein shocks you'll save about $450 and you can sell the shocks that came w/ your Fabtech kit on eBay.
If you go with the ProComp kit you can save even more money. I myself have the ProComp kit and it is very well built as well. I only have two dislikes about the ProComp kit... the looks of the front x-member and the shock spacers, but if you add the stainless ProComp skid plate and Bilstein shocks you'll have one of the best looking suspensions on the road and a very solid performer off the road. I did a lot of shopping around for the best prices, but I have under $1800 invested in a 6" ProComp lift w/ 5" Fabtech blocks, 2" ProComp add-a-leaf, ProComp skid plate, front Bilstein 5100's, and rear Bilstein reservoir 5150's.
