    A friend and I are about to install the RCD lift on my truck this weekend. After months of reading posts and looking at other trucks this is by far the best lift option for me :) Anyone with some last minute install notes before tackling the project?

    Well to say the least, installing this lift with a friend of mine has been an experience. Lots of vague instructions but in all honesty not that bad! I would recommend this lift to anyone! And to everyone that wines and is scared to cut the frame, its really simple and worth every cut. Pics on the way...

    only order custom katzkin truck delivery at end of April 2013
    Very very serious about doing this install myself. New truck being delivered at end of April. Been doing some reading on this install. Do you have any input or pointers on this install?

    Also, is it really necessary to remove the differential?

    Apparently this guy said it was not necessary
