    Yes I did with the block and stock springs as well as limited up travel that would hit the bump stops often.

    the alcan leafs are pretty serious, ive pulled our 18HP diesel kubota a few times now and had a 8 foot trailer and my bed loaded with fire wood and my rearend dropped about an inch with that much weight.
    i retract my previous statement and highly recommend the alcan leafs if you have the spare money, def a good long term investment

    Earlier someone asked for hub to fender measurements for the front/back and I think there was only one response. Would you guys with the RCD kit post your measurments up? Thanks guys!!

    I just got my rcd kit installed & now notice a vibration at about 25mph either accelerating or slowing down. Has anyone else experienced this with their lift & are there any specific solutions? My tacoma is a 2012 double cab off road 4x4 with 9.5k miles on it. Before I had a sorry spacer lift & hated the drive quality - but had no vibrations with it. With the RCD, I love the drive quality with the exception of the vibration. Can anyone with this lift let me know if they have experienced the same thing & if they were successful in remedying the situation? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and I am running blocks in the rear for now. I'm on the road 95% of the time...

    You probably need a carrier bearing drop bracket. This will decrease the angle on your driveshaft and should help eliminate the vibration

    You need a beefed taco carrier bearing drop bracket and rotate the carrier bearing housing 180 degrees.

    I am putting my kit myself with some help. Explain (in picture if you can) about this rotating of the Carrier bearing housing. I too have the beefed taco drop. Kit, Alcans, bearing drop, and spidertraxx spacers. All I have to do is get home from this drilling rig to put it all on.

    Make the 12 o'clock position the 6 o'clock position on the housing and then re-bolt to the carrier bearing drop bracket.

    Supercharged AND RCD!!!! Wow, good Work. I'm still waffling back forth between the two.

    i have the procomp 6, but the lifts are basically the same in nature. i had the vibes also and tried all kinds of carrier bearing drops, flips, and flops. the one thing that cured it for me was putting in the alcan leaf springs. the vibes were completely gone after i put them in. and they ride like butter
