How is your ride and front axle angles? I had a fabtech before and it rode great and the angles were no different than stock. I would like to buy the rcx since the price is so much better.

It rides fine and the axle angles are a bit lower than stock but to the extreme if ya know what I mean. They are off just a tad not a big difference. I'll let you know more on the ride once I get an allignment. But when I test drove it I drove 5 miles and it was fine.

Hey man raised in Orlando but now living in Mt. Dora which isn't that far from Ocala. Just put Orlando cause not many know about the Mt. But I'm sure you know all about it. Dude every time I go to Ocala got to make a pit stop at the "Mason Jar"

Cashel I see you have a body lift on your truck. That is what I was wanting to do next to gain more lift. How does it ride? I've heard body lifts are not a good idea cause they ride bad, is this true? Let me know what ya think. And by the way nice truck dude thats the stance I want on mine.

I had a susp & body lift on my old truck, and to be honest the ride quality was pretty rough but hey, who cares!?! The truck looked awesome and was a mean off road machine! Of course, the ride could have been rough because of all the shocks on my truck.

body lifts have no affect on the ride quality of a truck. all they do is put spacers between the rubber mounts and body. it doesnt mess with the suspension at all.

go for it mudduck, im running a BL and a RCD on 35's doesnt look bad, plus you can flex like crazy!

lol thanks man, I am missing it a lot lately! I sold it in May of 06 when I wish I never had to! It had a set of Weld Outback 16.5x12 wheels and Mickey Thompson Baja Belted 39x15 tires. Both of which are not made anymore but that should help get you started at least!
