    I was thinking that, especially long term. But I've also heard people run the RC for years and never have issues. I guess if installed right

    Keep in mind that the 6" lift requires fabrication, so it is not an easy drive way job.

    I would go with the OME lift since it is easier to do and you can change it up if you want to down the road. The DB is almost permanent.

    I personally would do the 3". Bought the truck with the DB and now I just live with it.....

    Pretty annoying that every part is pretty much custom (besides bumpers and such)......

    Enough to make it a lot of fun!
    My guess is the people that did not have any issues never really pushed their suspension at any point and/or say dirt road is offloading. No matter what lift you do the wheel wont effect much on your clearances.

    Ok, thanks for the help guys.

    Would I get close to 3in with this setup?

    Cant decide whether the UCA is truly needed

    Very unlikely that you will get your alignment into spec without new uppers.

    I am running the latest generation SPC arms, very satisfied with them.

    You will get between 2.5 and 3 u front and probably 3 and 3.5 in the rear. The plus of getting UCAs is you can get better positive caster on your tires which will help with any rubbing you might get on you cab mount.

    I would do the uca's while you have everything apart its the best time and they don't take long to install. I think the 888 coils will get you close to 3", I went with 886 with 1/4" spacers to get my 3".

    Ya I was considering doing 1/4in spacers with the additional spacer for the lean. Almost like this setup. Thoughts?

    So I can just order the normal ones? And does the 6in top spacer come with the RC lift?
