Thank you for all, I did have to weed through alot of BS, but I did ask for advice.

I really am starting to think that without posting some pics, you have nothing to go on, so I will take some tonight and get them up here. Like I said in the beginning, I am aware I made a mistake buying this kit and I totally got what I paid for, I also said I am new to lifting anything, therefore torsion keys and really anything 4wd is new and personally the way I learn is by seeing and doing. So your comments are a huge help, but only when I have the time to go lay underneath and compare what I see to what you say.

And no this thread isn't fake, but to be honest - I would have much rather not said that I didn't have a set of balls, because then men start to doubt what you can and can't do, but I know that deep down, the gentleman in you would do anything to help a lady in need. So yes- I totally played my girl card hoping for some extra advice and comments.

Thanks everyone- will post some pics tonight

I bash this kit too but honestly I se more and more ppl who have it and like it.
The big thing was the bad brackets post and come to find out it was the installers fault so that's a plus for it.

My big thing is this...

somebody needs to post and get measures with a stock truck, crank their bars, same tires and all, measure, then get this kit and install it and remeasure to see if any lift is achevied over stock t bars cranked.

If so then I'd consider buyign it myself, but if not then why waste time and money. The other thing is I had read the rcx 4-6 can be had for like $765 or so now, and compared to this kit at like $400-500 NO WAY I'd pay that for a few hundred more I could get the full 6. or so drop. Now compared to $500 or less for this and a grand for the 4-6 on their website I might consider it.

This is exactly what needs to be done. BTW - That should say the rcx kit WAS available for $765. Back up to normal price. I was pissed when I saw that a couple days ago.

I gained give or take a little an inch more, but that is strictly from the UCAs allowing for more cranking. I never put blocks in mine because like i said i like the lean.

I have a friend that works at Poly Performance so i definitely didnt pay $500. Otherwise you are 100% correct, the difference between the kit would be foolish to buy this over a 4 or 6.

Check out FSC theres a guy on there that sells them, he told me a 6" is 850 plus shipping, still an extra 150 off the website and 50 off if you were to call in. i'm really really considering one now.
