The drop front crossmember on the lift kit. Majority drop the full 6" to maintain stock angles, but some only drop 5" which gives you increased angles even before adding that extra spacer.

 

Yeah, essentially some kits drop all of the suspension parts, which provides the lift, and if the crossmember/subframe is only 5" versus 6", it's effectively a 5" lift with a 1" level already right off the bat. RCX seems to be the main culprit with doing this, and to what end I'll never know, but the majority of lifts for the 04+ trucks are a true 6" if I remember correctly.

We might be able to tell you what brand it is by looking at the crossmember

 

I will send you some pics in a lil bit

 

Did you get my pictures kmac?

 

post the pics kmac I wanna see this

 

I didn't get em, huh. I checked and I did send you the right number. I guess send em again. I'll send you my email too to see if that works

 

I'm not sure what it is, a Pro Comp stage I is my best guess. Those are a full 6" drop if it is that.

 

Sweet now i know what im sitting on.. Ha so do you think i can but bigger spacer on there or is it going to pop out ball joints left and right? I could always go with a new uni-ball upper control arms which is stronger and more clearance right?

 

If that's a Procomp, then you're good with a 6" drop. If it's not, I dunno how much the drop is. But your angles will really determine how much you can add. I'm inclined to say no if your angles are causing contact right now, but it all depends. The Bilstein struts are the cheapest method of adding lift properly. Going with uni-ball or new uppers can help depending where stuff is hitting and how they're shaped. They're pretty pricey too. But I'd definitely go with some coilovers if you're willing to drop some coin. They can be cranked to 8" and are the best money to spend vs. new upper control arms.

Pizzaman is much more knowledgeable with all of this though.

 

The spacer is the problem, adding a bigger one is just gonna cause more problems. You need to get rid of one of the spacers. Either go with the 4-6" bilsteins or another coilover like that set at the 6" setting and replace the 6" spacer with the lift, or go with the leveling bilsteins or another coilover like that and set them for 1.5-2" and replace your leveling kit. Don't go over 8" max though or your angles will not be happy. And I'd measure to make sure your getting the full 6" drop on the crossmember too. Also try posting a picture of your current angles now.

And uni-***** are stronger than ball joints but that may not be needed in your application.

Either way before you go to those, you need to solve your stacked spacer issue. It's unsafe.
