you do know you did not need the keys to lift it to a 6 inch right? all you had to do was crank yours up and get 6 inch. The 4 inch and the 6 inch rcx kits are the exact same one just doesn't have add a leafs.

Also add a leafs increase the spring rate which makes it stiffer, you could do a shackle flip and block to get 6 inch or get a 6 inch block, or 6 inch springs.

no clue on the difference I would ask the ebay seller or contact rough country directly and ask them.

yea i heard something about all the brackets being the same. i know cranking the bars makes it ride a lil stiffer. so i used the keys. i actually have better ride in the front end now. so id be better off getting 6 inch blocks or springs in the back? as far as the shackle flip, i dont like the look of shackles hangin down.

getting the keys did nothing, cranking the stockers and cranking them keys is the exact same. All those keys did was crank your stock torsion bars up without actually turning the bolt. As for blocks vs. springs it's debated alot and is up to you, springs aint cheap blocks are. axle wrap and other issues can come up with a 6 inch block.

no 6 inch block!!! nothing even over 3 is good for your truck. and why would you even want 6 in the back if you have 6 in the front?? do you want rake? and shackle flips come out clean and really dont hurt your rear suspension if your goin for 4" just saying. but if anything 2" block and a 2" add a leaf
