RCD 4.5 overall height? And will my stock 16" TRD rims fit with spacers?

    3" icons stage 3 vs Rcd 4.5 and after reading for the pass week looks like I'm leaning towards rcd lift for my 2013 Tacoma TRD 4x4. But I got a few questions...

    If i install the rcd 4.5 do anyone know what the overall height be from ground to top of cab? And will I fit in 6'6" parking structure?

    Also do anyone know if I can still run my stocks 16" TRD rims and or 17" SPORTS rims? Any pictures out there? Can't deside what rims and tires I want so was planing on running my stocks.

    I have read that rcd lift reuses the stock TRD springs! But do anyone use something else? Maybe some ome or eibach?

    Trucks a daily driver but do go camping and mud trails also use the truck for construction so I do load the bed a lot so need to know what leafs packs would be best for that as well.

    The height in front on the rcd kit is 5" front and 4" rear. No you can't run your stock 16 " wheels with this kit. Stock 17's might be able to be run with addition with wheel spacers. Yes the rcd re uses the stock front springs and yes you could add eciach or ome springs for additional lift but you shouldn't go over 1.5 or 2" additional lift. On the rear spring you can get some custom alcans or run expos or dakars with a small block in the rear.
