    What is in the RCD kit?
    Can you show more pix of the RCD lift components?
    i dont understand how the new suspension gave more lift, and less angle on the CVs (i think thats what im asking..)
    Interested in knowing more about the RCD kit please
    I just got my LR UCAs in and not sure if i will install with help or find a shop to do it.

    The drop bracket dropes the entire front diff 4" and then you build up from that. I'm not to mechanically gifted so the other guys can help you better on this than me. I just cut people open and fix their bodies for a living.

    Gives you a ton of travel as well, compared to my Toytec kit and other spacer kits.

    right now I still have my 17" procomp 7089s with BFG 285/70/17 I plan to run these with probably 305/65/17 tires but I havent settled on which exact tire though.

    The 305/65/17 are 33" tires that are 12" wide though, they are a little smaller in diameter than the 285/70/17

    I don't think so. The factory plate definately won't and the TRD mounts in a similar way. I do believe RCD does have one which I will definately get if it's true. Otherwise I will be getting a friend of mine to fab something up for me to keep debris and all that crap from getting up front.

    You know of anything else? Cause I would definately be interested if you find one. Let me know. Otherwise I'll talk to my buddy and see if he'll make me something. If you like his design I could get you one as well since our trucks are virtually identical. He'll make everything out of marine grade aluminum.
