My truck went in the shop today to have the 5" RCD Suspension Lift Installed. I thought about the FABTECH but since Fabtech is new with 4WD lifts, I thought I would be save and go with the RCD. I am adding 37x12.50R16 SSR's soon. Pics will be up by this weekend!

I have the Fabtech 6" lift. I have not installed it yet, just got to take it out of the box this weekend. There is alot of parts and looks like a full day of work. I should have it on soon. Still waiting on my tires, but now I want to fit 38"s under it with a 3" PA lift.

The 6" fabtech should be under my truck by the 15th of February along with 4.56 gears and an ARB airlocker for the front diff. After spring break, the 38x15.5 PJ's should be on... I'll let you know what I think about the driveablility then since i'll be heading 1400 miles one way to texas for spring break..

Actually the Fabtech and RCD lifts are similar. Both use replacement steering knuckles to retain the factory steering geometry (which means you have to run the correct backspacing). Both drop the lower control arms more than the front diff and retain the factory upper control arm mount.
