Yeah I seen a few other members up here running that combo, now i have been looking into getting the adjustable shocks in the front instead of the spacer. that way i can adjust if needed.

Good luck, hope it works out the way you planned. Keep in mind though, when you start combining lift kits, it will probably void any warranty that either manufacturer might have on their components.

Thanks, That is what the shop said it may void the warranty. Think I may just do the 6" lift and if not happy do the Shocks and AAL down the road.

So.... Just orded the 6" RC with 1.5 Spacer and 1.5 AAL (i think 1.5 AAL told him to make it sit level) anyways also got the dual steering stabilizers included. So lift should be on by this weekend will see how it turns out will post pics, will let you know how it performs in a few months when i leave this **** hole. Also anyone want to buy a 2.5 Level kit??? Thanks for all the help...

-Thinking about getting the MM 951s, need a rim that makes my tires stick out about 2" more of so, and i found a set for 891 on ebay shipped.

My rc kit was missing one bolt so we couldn't finish the front end until they overnighted it.

We tried to install a 2.5 level kit with my Rough Country and it simply will not work. You have to compression the suspension to the point of where it has absolutely no travel. I dont think the RCX spindles are as tall as most other lifts. Iam going to have to take them to a machine shop and have them cut in half so I can still use them otherwise theres no getting 40s under the truck.

I hope that the 1.5 will fit under there, it had been a month today i put my truck in the shop, the guy has a pretty reputable business and is in a few truckin magazines and has galleries of photos of lifts that he did, So hopefully he can make somehting work, or should i say after a month it had better work. The parts were on back order for the steering componets for the longest time, he said they shipped the other day so we will see. About a week ago i told him to order a fabtech but the supplier wouldnt sell do to them beiing in bankrupt status. So I think that if it isnt done by this weekend im asking for a refund or asking him to front the cost on different lift kit.

I hope everything works out for you because mine has been a major headache. We are going to just put mine back together and hope that the 40s will clear with 9 inches of lift in the front and 10 in the back.
