How does this setup sound......
Add 5" RCD to 3" BL for 8 total inches.
325/80r16(37x13.5r16) Cooper Discoverer STT's
4.88 Front and Rear Gears


Input? Different tires? What about a steering stabalizer?

 

Sounds sweet!!

 

how much is the 5" compared to a 6"? since your already regearing id go for the biggest possible for the best price.

 

yeah go for the 6inch and a 3BL i mean later you will prob kick yourself in the *** for getting a 5inch lift lol. Im kicking myself in the *** for not getting a 12inch rize so now all im gonna get outta this truck is 11inches. so go for the 6inch

 

why RCD? is there something unique about the kit?

 

RCD is one of the highest quality kits.....plus it comes with bilsteins.

 

are you talking like coilovers? dropping the torsion bar base IFS, and a coilover IFS conversion?

 

No, just bilstein shocks. I dont think the Fabtech 6" is any bigger. A torsion crank makes the RCD a 6inch I believe.

 

A torsion crank also makes your CV angles suck.

I dont think it matters which lift you get. I dont think you are one to do any hardcore offroading so the Fabtech should be fine if you want to save money.

No Toyo MTs?

 

How much of a price difference is there between the Fabtech and RCD? I've got a 6" fabtech. I don't offroad too often, once or twice a month usually. When I do though, I play hard, and I haven't screwed anything up suspension wise.

 

the fabtech kit offers 6 in of lift w/o cranking the torsion bars at all, hence the 6 inch lift.

 

I do not off-road hard at all. Toyo MT's not available in 37x13.5r16. Fabtech and RCD are my two choices and whichever I pick, I will have a great kit.

 

You can get a 6" Fabtech for only about $100 more than the RCD kit. I have been looking around for best prices possible, because I am probably going to order a 6" Fabtech kit very very soon. I have heard that the RCD is a great kit too, but so many people run the Fabtech kits and love them that I decided against the RCD.

Check that out...I believe other members have ordered from them and it is the 6" fabtech kit they just don't blatently list it as one. That is probably the route I am going down soon. They also have what I believe is the 5" RCD for only $100 less.

 

You are 100% right either way you go it is going to look Awsome! be sure and post some pics after you get it done
