6" Rough Country Lift

Just got some pics form the shop of my truck, Got the 6" RCX lift with , It has been in the shop for over a month now waiting for parts on backorder. I think it looks okay, wife said " needs bigger tires" So looks like i just talked my self into some 37's,I may do the Bilstein 5100s, But i will see how i like it when i get back. I know for sure im going to get some new rims on it maybe a 4.5 b/s will give it a better stance, I would like to find a ncie 36" tire but only one i could find was the Claws. I will post some more pics once my wife sends me some. Thanks again for the help.

Stock:



Before: 2.5 Level


After:





I guess i just need some time for it to grow on me..

Thanks guys! Yeah the 35s are 34.8 inches tall and the 37s are 36.8 tall, Think i might get the 37s but they are 400+ for the KM2, I may look into the Toyos M/T or the Claws, dont know waiting to get some pics of different angles of it so i can better decide. My unlce is going to do the gears for me so that inst to major of an issue anymore. I really just want a true 36" tire.

It looks great either way! I'd just wear out those tires on it and then go to the 37's

thnx thats what i was thinking, but the tires have maybe 200 miles if that, went from discount tire to house then to shop, discount gave me good deal on my A/T on trade in for M/T so might talk to my "contact" there to see what he can do.

Remember 37's require re-gearing, I might consider removing the AAL and spacer to close the gap if its too much for you. If you have the money to re-gear and get 37 then go for it. Good looking truck

Jumped the gun

So wife jsut got the truck and I called the shop, Guess this is good news, He didnt put the spacer and the AAL on becasue it had such bad angels on it, I think it looks good for just a 6" lift sits kinda high in the front, but looks good, Guess i jumped the gun on the frist post. But hey at least i still get the warranty from the shop, Still going to get differnt rims and maybe a grill guard add some weight to the front. But he re did my bill and didnt charge for the aal, as, or stabilizers so Im still satasfied with it and dont have to worry about the bad cv angles.

Interesting to know it does not have the AAL or spacer. Is it just me or does that "appear" to be taller than other 6" lifts, maybe its the lighting/shadows or angle the pic was taken? Curious what your measurements are from center of hub to bottom of fender and how they compare to others with similar setups.

yeah it looks taller to me, maybe the offset of the wheels make it look that way?? That is why when I got pic i thought it had the level and aal.

Some mor pics was late when wife got it home

Nothin special just a spacer






Will get some more pics tommorow
