How much was the install if you don't mind me asking?

 

$500

 

thank you.

so its just the rear crossmember that needs to be cut looks like? would this have any effect on the vehicle if we wanted to go back to stock for any reason?

 

Correct. Save the piece you cut out. Then you could weld it back in if you decide later to go with a non-drop bracket lift or go back to stock.

 

This ^ this is the one thing I wish I would have done. I mean I love the looks and the lift but sometimes I wish I had a 3 inch ome

 

wat makes you want to go to a 3" OME? wats your issues with the RCD?

 

I love the lift, rides great, looks good (would look better without the plate bumper) great for highway use and mild offroad. And there's the problem, I like to wheel my truck and with this lift I'm kind of scared to, like I might screw something up. I would recommend the lift to anyone looking though. It truly is cool to have and see other owner check it out. I have received many compliments over the year I've had it.

 

What do you guys think for next size tires? Gonna get the st maxx's I was thinking either 295/70 r17 or the 315/70 r17. I currently have 255/80 r17 km2s and I don't quite feel that they are wide enough

 

315 too wide dude, Sucks gas and bearings and road noise.

 

Do you think the 295s would be better? I would do 285 but they look so short then.

 

285 or 295 is good bud, some tow trucks can't tow 35's....and require flat bed... If you ever needed a tow, flatbed rates will empty your bank lol to say the least.

 

Thanks man 295 it is.

 

Quick question. I have a 2012 with 3" revtek spacers in front on stock billies. New OME dakars on back. I'm looking at going to the rcd set at 4" up front pretty soon. It sits a little high in the back now. Will the rcd be a little high in the front and will I need a 1" block or something in the rear to be some what level. I don't mind a little nose high but not much.

Thanks.

 

I run dakars with 1.5" blocks. It sits about 1/4" higher or so in the back. Just a very slight rake.

Not the best pic, but this should help you see what that combo looks like.

 

Damn that looks awesome. Looks like 33's. I'm running 33/12.5 general grabbers. Gonna go to 33/12.5 BFG KM2's next. I think I'll order my rcd kit tomorrow.

 

Thanks! Yeah, they are 33x12.50r17 Mickey Thompson MTZs.

I have no regrets about the RCD lift. After running a couple different lifts on my previous truck, I knew this is the lift I wanted for my '14.

 

What do you do with the rear e-brake bracket closest to the brake drum? So the front of the rear leaf is the last support? Also there is another bracket on top of the front differential that had to be taken off because it was pulling tight. Get rid of that too?

 

I cut the rear brake line bracket off. I don't remember removing any brackets up front.

 

Man that looks so nice. If I ever upgrade my lift and go this route, I'd just like to find a rear lift with no blocks.
On another note, if anyone wants to hand out a nice rcd lift... I'm available
