    Do you have after market UCAs and did you use the stock rubber blocks in back or a new set of leaf springs.

    This forum confuses the hell out of me sometimes. In almost every thread related to lift kits the use of blocks is demonized yet in this thread blocks are suddenly ok. It cant be both ways. I have been around the off road scene for decades and blocks have always been the wrong way to lift a truck. I can understand if we have no other options for the RCD lift but people make it sound like its the acceptable method and its not.

    Blocks are standard with pretty much all the major suspension companies. Like previously mentioned, the majority of lifted trucks see minimal off-road use and don't need the flexibility of a new leaf pack. The extra price (with shipping) is what keeps most people from buying them.

    Badass Taco bro! I recently bought a 2012 DCLB TRD Sport 4x4 which is all white but I like the two-tone look with black flares, grill and bumper.

    My ATZ's have some road noise but not too bad. The gas mileage is ok (17mpg) but i think its more of the way you drive type a thing that affects mileage.

    I think I will try fabbing my own, if needed. This sounds frustrating.

    After: 4.5" RCD suspension with 1/2" Toytec top plate spacer and 1.5" rear AAL, 305/75R17 (33.9"x12.2") BFG KM2 on 17x8.5 Method Double Standard Wheels

    Nicely done, just wanna know why the rear is higher than the front, meaning the suspension is not level. Could it be that AAL springs not settled in, seems to be a common issue amongst this RCD lift.

    Nice man, your truck looks pretty level, unlike some other RCD lifts with nose down ass up syndrome lol... What's your specs for the lift. Any input appreciated.

    ^^^ This was a major reason why I spent the extra cash to get the Fox adjustable coilovers. I need my truck to sit as level as possible, I don't like any lean either way...
