Two questions:

- what are your suspension heights front and rear in that last pic?
Nice truck!

Yep, used to have 2 e30's, an e36, e39 and a z3 coupe. The suspension is that standard rough country 6" lift. If you are asking about a specific measurement like from the floor to the bumper or fender flare then I can do a measurement quickly.
Ha! What are the chances. I too have had quite a few.
5 e30's, 2 e39, e24, e28, e36, e34 over the years.
Well, I mostly meant on the front. Did you install the rear leaf on yours for the full 6" in the rear and crank your front keys for the full 6" on the front?
I'm considering the RC kit too but don't want to go that high and Ove heard you can do a 4" lift by not cranking front keys and leaving out the rear leaf and just keeping the block.
Any input on that?
I finally got my Realift TB relocator's on which turned out to be a pain in the ass. The TB cross member has to be moved backwards with some new holes in the frame drilled so be ready for that. Also since I upgraded my exhaust to a 4", the exhaust was in the way to slide the cross member back so I had to remove that section of piping and will have to have an exhaust shop extend the section to the hump that goes over the cross member. And finally, on some longer trucks like mine the transmission cross member is in the way so you have to either drop it down below the frame and add 1" spacers or you cut that section of the cross member out and notch it. I ran out of time so my torsion bars are currently resting on the cross member, hopefully next weekend I will have some time to notch them.

The max I have seen people get out of a TB crank is about 3" but it varies by truck. The downside of the TB crank is that essentialy your control arms will be right up against the bump stops so if you go offroad then you wont have any wheel droop/extension left. Essentially TB cranks of that much work for street trucks only, and they make the ride stiffer upfront.
The benefit of the RC kit is that they move the control arms down so you don't have to have your TB cranked and you get to maintain the same ride quality and amount of wheel travel. In the rear, the RC kit uses a block spacer for the lift.
I also didn't want to go 6" high and wanted only 4" but no one did a 4" lift kit.
