Iam also a bit concerned with alignment problems. 40s arent cheap to replace so I gotta keep that in mind as well

Yeah that is what i was thinking, i guess new UCA could be installed but i think if i want to go bigger in the future im going ot do a Body lift. I think the 1.5 will be fine on the angles, becasue a lift kit is suppose to make all the angles stock again fromw what i have read. So it will be just like putting a 1.5 on a stock truck, I may be wrong but thats my understanding, The shop called my wife and guranteed it by late monday early tuesay and also cutting the price that i owed him for the labor on the lift. So we will see.

I should have mine back tomorrow evening. We have to finish the body lift tonight and tomorrow. Ill try and have some pics up. I dont know how its going to looks as it will be sitting 2 inches higher in the rear but Id rather it sit high in the rear than the front. That Kings Ranch you posted earlier is a damn nice truck but the rear sag takes so much away from it.

correct me if im wrong, doesnt that lift kit the 4 and 6" share the same subframe? so the drop isn't enough to add a spacer w/out crappy angles

Are you kidding me? Is that actually true?
If so then the 6" kit is only a longer spacer up front. If the spindles are only 4" longer than stock, and the subframe only drops everything 4", stacking another spacer on that is just asking for trouble and horrible ride. Are you sure all the part numbers are right?

I think your thinking of the RCD lift , that one is adjustable from 4-6

What company is RCX ? rough country ?

Well everything is almost done. Gears are being done today and Iam getting it aligned on Wednesday. I order stabilizers this morning as well. I ordered a 1.5 AS kit Friday but I doubt Ill use it because the truck sits really close to level now. The gap between the top of the tire to the top of the fender wheel in the front is 13 3/8 and the gap in the back is 14 1/16. So around 3/4 of an inch higher in the back which could be solved with the 1.5 kit or maybe a 1 inch DayStar kit. I may not mess with it though because nothing rubs as it sits.
Iam 5'11" and the bed sits around 2 inches over the top of my head so Iam happy with it!
