The Fabtech kit is also going to widen the front track width.

is it? i didnt know that..

i have seen trucks that have the fabtech where the front track width was wider then others.. i just figured it depended on the backspacing of your wheels.. I dont mind i if the tires stick out a little bit, but i want it to be somewhat even around all four corners

The Fabtech will be about 1 1/2" wider in the front. Some Fabtech owners buy spacers for the rear to even it out.

hmmm.. im not a big fan of spacers... lol.. Well WTF. haha.

The RCX and Traillmaster are still in the race though.. i havnt heard anything bad about either of them from people that own them, but If im spending the money, i want it to be the best kit i can get..

I know I want New Coilovers and shocks.. i dont want blocks of Any kind front or rear, so the rear has to have AAL's..

I don't have mine yet... But the 4X4 shop near me swears by RCD....

In fact when I asked about rancho which is what I'm leaning towards even though it's a 4 inch kit. The guy pretty much didn't even want to talk to me anymore....

If you plan on not off roading your truck, any of those lifts are Okay.

Don't waste your money on Fox shocks, you are only paying for the name, trust me on that.
