Anybody have any opinions on the Doetsch kits before I pull the trigger on one over the RCX? Was looking at getting the 6/3 Doetsch kit simply cause the lift is bigger than the RCX kit.

I've only ever seen anybody with the RCX kit for 2WDs. Granted they are cheaper, I'm looking for a little more than 4". Couldn't find anything really bad to say about Doetsch products though so I think I'm going to order the Doetsch 6/3 kit. May be a few weeks until it's received and installed but I'll post pics when its done.

No springs anymore, just coil spacers. Ill probably take the opportunity and replace a bunch of my steering components while I'm at it, maybe even buy a set of new coils. Not a whole lot of sense in putting the lift on the original springs. Any suggestions for new ones? Was looking at Moog today...

dont. You're better off leaving the old springs in. I bought moog springs and they didn't fit. Apparently, no one makes the correct springs for our trucks. I tried 5 different springs from rockauto and non worked

Interesting. Just looking at it too, it may even be possible to recreate the 6/3 from RCX for less money. Just add their 2" springs (assuming they would actually fit) to the 4" kit and the 3" blocks. Going to have to give one of the Canadian distributors a call tomorrow. Doetsch would have cost $1100 to my front door...
