RCD club, how many are in?

I just measured my clearance between steering knuckle and tires. I have 3/4". I'm running 17x9, 4.5" backspace, -12mm offset, 285/70R17 tires. The additional -12mm offset would put you about 1/2" closer than mine, which would leave you about 1/4". With the additional width of 305/70s over 285/70s, it might just put the tire into the steering knuckle. It's gonna be close.

 

Ahhhhh dammit. Well if they don't fit then Atleast it will be at a shop where they can order some new treads if needed.

 

The additional offset will push me farther from the knuckle. My backspace is about 4.1

 

Good catch. You are correct. It might just fit then!

 

Hoping to maybe get my UCAs and spacers installed this weekend and get the alignment redone. I ended up just getting the 1/2" and 1/4" spacers from toytec. I only get a once every other Sat. For free labor and shop use from my buddy. Hoping he has time to deal with me this weekend. Fingers crossed lol.

 

Are you guys running the top spacer for the "taco lean"?

 

I'm running a 1/4" poly spacer for taco lean. Both sides are 26" hub to fender.

 

Anyone running the Carrier drop kit? I have one but don't know if I need to put it on.

 

The RCD kit comes with one.

 

Im running mine and getting a little vibration at different speeds but mostly around 20/25.
May need to lower it some more just haven't had any time.

 

I have a slight vibration as well from 5-15mph, but it's not bad.

 

Well it looks like I have to wait another week for my install. The shop is super backed up on some custom trucks.

@wobble. Let me know how those dakars ride!

 

That sucks!

Will do. I will probably install them Saturday.

 

I installed the Dakars and 1.5" blocks. It's definitely stiffer, but I like the ride.

Measurements with 4" blocks:
LR 25 3/4"
RR 26"

Measurements with Dakars and 1.5" blocks:
LR 26 1/4"
RR 26 3/4"

I gained 1/2" on driver's side and 3/4" on passender side. I'm sure they will settle a little though.

rtgreene10, not sure if you planned on using the u-bolts that came with the RCD kit or not. I did and there are 1.5" of thread showing after tightening them. I'm going to order some a little shorter since they stick down a bit.

 

Cutting them would be faster and cheaper, just grind them down...............

 

Good to know buddy. Can't wait

 

Spent the day cutting down a maple tree and pulling the stump. Best I can do right now. lol

 

Thanks Mandy! Will do that.

 

Cool, anytime bro.........

 

Wobble how's the ride with the new springs compared to the stock?
