RCD club, how many are in?

I want to say they were hub centric, but I have no idea. I bought them used, so I could run the 35x12.5s long enough to save for new tires.

 

are you using wheel spacers on your rig? After reading through all 80 pages I've seen both sides saying 16's will and will not work. I posted up the same question in the 4 banger thread the other day

 

Here's my new rig; 2014 RegCab TX Edition

 

Texas Edition??? Never heard of such in a Reg Cab. You sure somebody didn't just put that together?
Nice looking truck either way.

 

Dang after reading all the pages here I can't wait till I can order my RCD lift!! The boring part is I'm going to have to run the stock 30ish" stock rims and tires with spacers till after I can get a lil more money flow in.

 

I'm looking to order the RCD kit also but do you guys think it will look good with 275/70/17's (32")? I just got new tires last year and not looking to buy new ones. Also, does anyone have the kit that comes with FOX 2.5 Coilovers? I'm looking to order this one since I don't have the stock coils. I'm not a fan of the rake that this kit gives so I am also looking to change out the rear blocks for some leafs that give about 2.5" of lift. I believe All Pro has some unless someone else knows where to get some.

 

IMO 32s would look pretty small. When I installed mine with the included 4" rear blocks I thought it sat level. I put Dakars with 1.5" blocks to give it a slight rake (about 1/4"). If you lift the front 5" and the rear 2.5", it's gonna have a noticeable bro-lean.

 

In case anybody was curious about CV angles ..... I was going through my phone deleting pictures.

These are stock springs. Eibachs increase the angle just a tiny bit with a bumper

 

Anyone running 295/70R17 with this lift? If so, please post pic and any feedback. Thanks!

 

315s

Edit: sorry thought you were asking me if they're 295s lol

 

I considered going with 315s next, but even with adding Eibach/OME883 springs, I would think it would rub. Also don't want that big of a hit on power since I'm running stock gears. I was thinking 295s since they are a little narrower and taller than the 33x12.50s I'm running now. 305s are another option along with Eibach/OME883 springs, but the tire selection is limited.

 

Yeah I'm on 1.25 spacer and a lot of cutting has been done. The power loss is pretty bad especially with my concrete filled nittos lol I think they're almost 80lbs a fucking piece. Let's just say 68 on the highway is comfortable speed for stock gears. Any gas pedal past that and it's downshifting constantly.

But that's the price I pay for stance. I want to slim down on width but don't want to compromise height.

 

80 lbs?!! Holy shit! I've been told Nitto's are a heavy ass tire, but damn! My MTZs are 63 lbs and I don't want to go much heavier than that. Too much rotational mass for my preference. Mine is my daily driver, so I don't want to compromise so much that it makes the truck no longer fun to drive. With these half worn MTZs, it's approaching that for me. Didn't think they'd get this loud. I guess I'm just gettin' old...

 

Ya I wouldn't recommend nittos to anyone. After about 30k they got loud as shit. They almost have 50k o them now and I can't wait to change them.

 

Anyone running Eiback or 883 springs with this lift? If so, can you please take a measurement from center of hub to fender?

 

I'm looking at ordering my RCD lift with in the next month or so. I'm going to be ordering the OME Dakar rear leaf springs as well. What size block do I need to order as well so I don't have the bro lean? Anyone have pics of this set up?

 

Here is mine with Dakars and 1.5" blocks. Sits about 1/4" higher in the rear. Very slight rake.

 

Dang sweet looking rig! How does it do once you put weight in the back?

 

Thanks! It smooths the ride out with weight. Handles quite a bit too. Very happy with the Dakars.

I used OEM bushings with them the first time and I couldn't get rid of the squeak. I called Wheelers and bought Energy Suspension Poly bushings. It's been a year and a half now and still no squeaks. I used Energy Suspension grease when I installed the bushings. VERY sticky stuff!

 

The dakars are a beast. Ive had 900+lbs in the bed and it barely squats. They do squat a Litte when I pull my boat, but I can't imagine what it'd be like on stocks.

But mine creak and groan and moan on every turn and bump. They need upkeep
