    4" RCX cost the same as a 5-6" RCX

    Here are my angles! Just keep torsions cranked down abit and get the upgraded shocks with the 5inch RCX kit.

    No regrets lifting my truck. Angles are the same for me and it rides better than stock

    Well I did some digging and found pictures of both lifts with 35's on Reg Cab Long Beds.
    They both have a unique stance to them.

    5" RCX w/ 35s and 22" Rockstars

    I bet the keys are whats causin your problems man. I had my 6 inch fabtech on my 03 fx4 with cranked t bars for a good 60k miles and had no issues at all. All my angles were fine. truck rode like a caddy, better than stock.

    I miss that thing...

    But the fabtech 6" is a great lift, It was excellent offroad while still maintaining excellent driveability for a DD. A little more moneys but you get what you pay for :peace:

    Question, do you work on your own engine, if so, I would go BL ALL day long. I have a 3" BL and the torsions cranked about 1.5" I clear 35's with no issue, I did have to trim the bottom corner of the bumper plastic just a little but not much at all.

    With the BL you can get your hands around the entire engine and actually work on it. I may work on mine a little more than most, but have NEVER regreted the BL. Next step for me is a full Dodge 3/4 Dana 60/Dana 80 axle swap. That should get me another 6-8" of sus lift and the ability to run 40-44" tires no issue.
