    Does anyone have a picture of the RCD kit on a truck next to a truck with 6" lift? I am tossing the two around and would like to see the difference.

    Nice, barely can tell, the main thing I like with the fabtech is the crossmember, I am not a fan of the straight crossmember.

    Yup, i wish the RCD had an arch. There's a huge difference in ride quality. We both have blocks in the rear but up front, the RCD is smooth yet stable. The Fabtech ride is stiffer and less forgiving. It could also be the fact that he has 20" rims though. Just things to consider.

    Ya, mine will be a DD no offroading, will be doing some towing, I will be adding full leaf packs as well, i just like the look of both kits. For quality i could live with the straight crossmember. Someone should invent a new one for them :)

    Hey guys I'm new to tacomaworld and have a question about this RCD lift. I'm thinking buying this for 2013 DCSB 4x4 Tacoma and just wondering if the 17x9 Mickey Thompson Sidebiters with a 5inch BS with 33x12.50 will fit underneath anyone on here able to answer this?

    If you leave it in then your rear end will sitting ass high w the 4" block that comes w the rcd kit. If you want the leave the add a leaf in just go w a smaller block. If a 2" add a leaf then just install a 2" block

    Nice truck Bro. The RCD Kits Rule.
    But that RED Emblem in your grill would look better FLAT BLACK, I'm just saying.

    Gobi roof rack. Icon coilovers, Icon tubular UCAs, FOX 2.0 rear shocks, Icon 3-leaf progressive AAL.
    I like the red, too. And--more importantly--the lift looks great. All of the RCD lifts look great.
