    Full OME lift with Dakars, 886s and LR UCA's, Firestone air bags w\ onboard compressor, 2 kicker CVT 10" subs , MB Quart 1000w amp ,Alpine media player
    do any of u guys think it would be possible to run the rcd 4.5" drop bracket kit and run something like 6" radflow coilovers with aftermarket UCA's to get a full 6" lift with only 4.5" drop brackets instead of 6"?

    Run a 1.5" suspension lift, like 5100s, etc on top of your 4.5" db and wham, 6" lift.

    If he does what I suggested above, the cv angles would be no worse than with. 1.5" lift, right?

    Yeah but that won't be any different than my lift would it?

    You just have the 6" db right? So your angles are identical to stock.

    OP why are you considering this instead of a 6" db? Getting a good deal on the 4.5" or you want more ground clearance?

    They have a lot more angle to them than the RCD lift gives... But my angles probably compare to a 1-1.5" lift
