Going to be buying the 6 inch rcx lift.

Today I will be ordering the 6-inch lift for my truck is there any tips that anyone would have on the lift and what does everyone think about the lift itself is it good as everyone says it is for the money?

I highly recommend all new front end parts..ball joints, tie rods, idler arm, pitman arm. Also new control arm and sway bar bushings and end links.

Go ahead and remove the upper control arm knockouts when you take out the upper control arms-helps with alignment later on.

The rcx steering stabilizer is a nice add-on.

Although I never tried them...others have stated that the shocks in the kit aren’t real great-I went with bilstein 5100s all around.

Read the install tips thread on here..lots of good info. Take your time grinding the front diff down.

From past experience with rough country... the 2.2 shocks are not to to bad but the end bushings wear out very fast.

Remember there IS cutting involved. Once it's cut, it's cut, there's no going back as it's the main front diff and front upper bump stops that are cut. So make sure you have all you need and have it all ready... they claim 6-i hours install time.. keep in mind that's on a lift with ALL the right tools..

Speaking of tools. Do you have the correct tool to take the torsion bars off? If not, get that before hand. Get a good one. They are well worth it.

Other then that it's pretty straight forward.

Don’t drop the money on the tortion key tool. Ball joint press works just as well and you can rent them from an auto parts store for free

You can also rent the torsion key tool from the parts store.

This is a great time to replace the wear parts and clean up the frame
