Rcx 4 inch lift

biggreenchevy · Feb 9, 2015

Hey guys, new to the site. I got a 98 silverado that I'm getting lifted in the next couple weeks. Would like as many pics of 4 inch suspension lifts as I can get. Having a tough time deciding between the 4 and the 6 but am leaning towards the 4 because I assume less wear and tear in cvs and other front end parts. Also any other suggestions you guys have would be great thnx.

They would be the same. I see the the 4 and 6 have drop brackets/crossmembers so your geometry will be the same.

I would get the 6" and leave off the add a leaf and don't crank the torsion bars then you would essentially have 5" and the ability to have a 6" should you choose to.
I think it's the 2-3" kit that leaves you with nasty c/v angles, whereas the 4 and 6 are full drop kits.

I'm having a shop install it for me, do you think they would charge the same for labor on the 6 as they would the 4

Yep. There should be zero price difference.

They're the same kit

Also the 6 inch kit is not a full drop kit, it's a 4 inch kit that you have to crank

They may charge a few bucks more to install the add a leafs though.

The front drop is 5 1/8". You dont have to crank two inches to get 6 out of the kit. OP you will have excellent angles at 4", better than facotry even. It will ride as good or better than stock. Most everyone who rode in my my truck was surprised with how well it rode since it was lifted.

Mine right after the 4" kit with 265's.
