RCD Lift Pics an Review

Looks sick man, how much was it for all the lift components? worth the extra cash over a 3 inch lift?

 

absolutely worth the up grade over the 3inch kits,as it now rides in the factory location,
now you can get away with 2inchs ,maybe 2.5,but not 3 with out a harsh ride over bumps,cause at 3inchs you have very little down travel left,
kit runs for about $1900,install was $450, $69 for alignment

 

^bummer.... I'd recommend any DB lift for those who don't Offroad hardcore...

and if you did offroad then I recommend a LT kit... everything else is mediocre

 

Sell those and go with an RCD...

 

The Smithsonian called , they want their level back .

 

x2!

 

ya its expensive. but you're truck sounds more bad ass than any other tacoma ive heard

 

HAA HAA WE HAVE A JOKER,OLD ,YES:SMITH LEVELS,ARE,ONE OF THE MOST ACCURATE LEVELS EVER MADE,AN IF THEY CALL ,I WILL RETURN IT

 

Man, that looks bad arse!
Do the stock skid plates bolt up with this lift? I have the TRD aftermarket (silver) one in place too and would like to keep all of them.

 

Ya man. I am. It's already on there, so why not use it!

 

no the trd won't work

 

ya i tried to make my trd fit but i couldn't think of anyway to make it fit. i did get the stock skid plate to fit though. just some minor cutting.

 

^haha...the stock black one does fit with some modification

 

Nice job on the lift and mod. It looks like you kept the 4 inch block in the rear and added an additional inch or more to the front suspension only. Were you going for a more leveled look to the lift, or were you wanting more clearance?

I am looking at getting the RCD in a few months, but I want to retain the leveled look given by my current 3" spacer lift. With the RCD I was thinking of using a 3" block in the rear to level it a bit...or, after seeing your mod, I may use the spacers up front.

My truck is black as well, great choice of color and mods!

 

the rcd kit sits fairly level. mine doesnt because i have an aal in mine because i carry around my street bike and dirt bike around ofter.

 

Does anyone have a suggestion for an RCD installer in the Norcal area? I'm up in Sac and willing to drive a ways if I have to. Schwabs already said no.
My garage is not set up enough for this and after $1700, I figure it's best done right the first time.

 

I am about to get the rcd kit. Anyone recomend a spacer up front to level out the leaning down? If so where can i get one and what do you recomend? Does it affect the ride any doin this?

 

Save your money and maybe order some custom fox or icon coilovers to go with this kit.
