    3" lift, ARB barwork, 285/75x16 Silverstone MT117 Sport, 16x8 Black Dynamic Steel Wheels, Zero offset. Straight through 3" exhaust-no mufflers, Front ARB Locker, Skid Plates, SR5 Rollbar, Lightforce Spotlights and some other shit!
    I think thats the best way to get 6" or there abouts rather than a dedicated 6" kit....

    You get the same height but you achieve more under front diff clearance...either with spacers or longer coil overs than the original RCD kit comes with....

    with the stock rcd lift the cv's are straight. check one of my pics. with the bigger coilovers the cvs will be like if he had a 3 inch lift.

    Here are my CV's before with my Toytec Ultimate kit and after with my RCD kit. Toytec kit kept blowing CV boots. How much straighter could you want you CV's than with the RCD kit.

    Absolutely no comparison between the ride either. I am completely satasified with the RCD kit.

    Well, the Rcd is a 4 inch rear block so the front is 5 or so because the truck is perfectly level. I think the rcd looks more proportionate with a 285 70 17 tire. The qua lit of the lift is excellent and the bilsteins ride better than stock and certainly better than any pro comp shock.
