Ok i have teh RCX 6" and front measures 46" and in the rear i have a 2" addaleaf and teh 5.5" block and it also sits at 46". I have a set of new Icon coilovers i would like to install but need a additional 2-3" of rear lift. any suggestions.. the plan is to get some rear deavers (4") eventually but 750 bucks plus the shiping may be off aways..

 

They make a 1.5" lift shackle.

 

I am not sure i like the idea of a shorter shackle, plus it still wont be high enough. i would hate to stick the icons on just to carnk them a inch. I would rather sell the coilovers for new rear springs.

 

skyjacker makes like a 4" aal i believe so you could get rid of the 2" you have now and just use the skyjacker aal

 

i seen that but that would be a shame to add the coilovers in front to improve the ride just to kill it in the rear..

i see all thes trucks on here with 8-12 " of lift what are they using in the rear.

 

on my old 05 i had a 2" aal with a pro comp 4.5" block stacked with the pro comp block that comes with their kit

 

you never want to go more than 6" in block height and i currently have a 5.5 anti wrap block that comes with the 6" RCX kit With the 2" AAL and it is sitting level. so like i mentioned it looks like a lift shackle or leaf springs or a bigger AAl.. if rear springs weren 750 bucks it would be the no brainer .

 

yeah i agree with the blocks and yeah springs being so damn expensive. i would just save up and do springs to do it right the first

 

You might try calling Autospring, I wanted and extra 1/2" to get some of the rake back and ended up; they cut me these spacers to install on the spring pack. Here's what they look like, dont know if they could find you another solution.



Nitrox

 

the spacers could work but not sure where to put them with the aal and overload in there now, under the OL would be my guess but the anti wrap blocks have 2 small ubolts to help with axle wrap which i could find longer ones, but i just had to replace the ubolts when i put in the aal and would need to go longer yet ....dam ubolts were 60 bucks

 

well no descisions yet but got a few prices

Rear springs

SkyJacker 4.5" 642.00
Deavers 4" 745.00
Atlas 4" 545.00
BDS 5" 602.00

the deavers and atlas dont have anytype of overload so that could be a problem when towing

 

I have mine close but I had to use the Rear shackle.

The 5" block gave me the 3" lift wich resolved the stacked blocks
the AAL 1.5"
The Shackle 1.5"

Total of 6" over stock in the rear.

My truck sits up 11" higher in the front. this includes the tries.
My truck sits up 7.5" in rear

this is before I put the shackle in. I don't have a pick of after unles it is from a night run at the desert

 

This is the only shot I have. The only one with a side view since I did the Shackle.

See this one won't work

Larry you truck looks great.

It is funny though after looking at the truck and a tape measure we all seam to go off the grount to the top of the wheel well. mine is currently 46" at both. but if you measure the front door glass and to the back of the top of the box i have a 1.5 rake to the truck. i think that is where it was getting confusing. so i may stick the coilovers in crank them to add a inch or so.. i just hate to go a inch and then later 2" and have to do a alignment in between each cranking.

 

for me I have the stock measure and the after measure
