Going to be buying the 6 inch rcx lift.

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

How will my truck look with the 33 on my truck if i crank it up to 6 or should i just do 4?

There’s literally a hundred dollar difference between the 4” and the 6” lift, and if you’re ever considering 35’s you might as well go for the 6”. Will 35’s fit on a 4”? Yeah some folks have done it, and I think you have to trim to get it done (I’m not certain, so someone correct me if I’m wrong).

One thing to remember, regearing is gonna be necessary to get the speedometer close to correct, and keep the automatic transmission from dying an early death.

The 6" kit is the exact same as the 4" kit, save for an add a leaf for each of the rear springpacks. Other than that it is the same kit and they cost the same.

I bought the 6" kit to get the extra springs but plan to install it as the 4", as I'm only going to run 33"s and wanted to prevent the added wear that cranking the front would cause.

Take a look at my build thread. My tires are right at 33” tall, and my t bars are only cranked enough to level the front from side to side. There should be a pic of my cv axle angles in my thread as well..but they are pretty close to horizontal.

Not an rcx lift but... this is my 94 k1500 with a superlift 6" lift with 285/75/16 (33") front is only cranked to level. Cv angle is just over straight. 35" will fit with no issues.. my next set of tires will be 315's which are 35's.

Why do these trucks always look weird to me with lots of wheel gap, but not newer trucks?

I think the small wheel arches make it hard to fit a bigger tire at lower height. The tires seem to fit in snugger on smaller lifts in the newer truck. For example, a 2015 can clear 35x12.5R20s on like a 3" level instead of the 6" lift we'd need to do the same.

Think I will run the 4 inch with my 33's then once the 33's are worn i will get 35s
