    Well I’ve been looking around and the RC 3” kit has my eye. Wanted to see if anyone had any experience with it, or opinions.
    So far it’s a okay deal without busting my wallet

    Morning!
    Looking for some advice on my front suspension. I've been running OME 885 w/ Bilstein 5100 @ 0 for awhile now. I would really like just a tiny bit more lift up front and not sure if I should:
    Install a 1/2" or so top spacer
    Adjust the Bilsteins up a notch
    Maxtrac spindles and OEM springs(I really can't afford this one right now, but w/e)
    Would prefer something without much labor or $$.

    I’d go with the top hat spacer it’s really cheap and not hard to install. Another notch on the shocks will cause preload and ride stiff.

    I know a guy selling some maxtracs for like 450 I believe.

    Thanks, I think I'll go with the small spacer for now, don't want the ride any stiffer than it already is. Maybe I'll switch it up next year with the spindles.
    Or maybe after tax $$...
    Taxtracs...
