    Well, after much debate, I ordered my RCD lift kit today. Main reasons I went with RCD were price. I would have gone with a 6" kit but didn't feel like spending $5-6,000 after lift, new wheels and tires. With the RCD I can still run my current 17" wheels and will get a little bit more height than I have now. I know for sure my CV's will definately appreciate the drop bracket. Kit should be here next week and installed the following. As always I will post before and after pics.

    I will be keeping my LR UCA's I currently have on. The rest of the kit is the Toytec Ultimate kit and it has about 17,000 on it.

    Ultimate kit sold to Benca1. I owed him several favors for helping me out at the dealership so he got first dibs. If for whatever reason he changes his mind I will repost it in the items for sale section. Big thanks to Benca1 for being such a good friend.

    Yes, the guys at Truckin-up will be doing all my work. I think they are the best guys in town and believe me, with as many trucks that I have gone through I have tried them all. They have the best prices by far as well. I am changing my Toytec because of the height I have my CO's set at. The ride is great but it is putting to much angle on my CV's. I've been through one already. With the RCD my CV's will be practically parallel to the ground. I love the Toytec otherwise and if anybody gets a chance, check out their 2 new catalogues. They feature my truck in both of them.:)
