level on top of rcx 6''?

Tried searching around a bit but couldn't find a definitive answer. Is it possible to run a 1 1/2-2'' level on top of the Rough Country 6'' lift? I'm not sure because I don't know how this lift really differs from some of the others like Pro Comp, Fabtech, etc.

i would advise against it since they use a spacer but if you want you can get a adjustable shock or coil overs to bump it up some

Get the bilsteins and set them at the 6" setting and put the leveling kit on.

The bilstein 5100? Is there more than one model of this particular shock? And I'm assuming this is for the front only or can you do front and rear?

Did some google searches and found that they are 0-2''. I'm ssuming after putting them on and cranking them to 2'' this would be the space allowed for a spacer to squeeze in?

There is another thread talking about using only the shocks for an additional 2 inches and no mention of a as spacer involved. What about this product? I believe its what fx4tough07 was mentioning. http://www.topguncustomz.com/Store/G...view=193821846

I think I'm going to go rip open the boxes for my lift and go through the install manual to try and make sense because I really don't know how the suspension works or is assembled. I'm kind of lacking on total mechanical knowledge but I've worked as a machinist/fabricator for seven years and done the occasional engine/tranny swap and I'm not afraid to rip stuff apart because I know I can get it back together.
