    I dunno, looking at it from the outside, I think I'd start out with a BL first. If I needed MOAR lift I'd then add the suspension lift. At least with a BL you're not changing any suspension geometry or anything, so ride quality isn't sacrificed. Not to mention the price comparison of a BL vs. Suspension lift.

    Like I said, I know very little about lifting a truck, but I'm just calling it like I sees it. :birgits_tiredcoffee

    I can see both points of the argument too. I'm sure they both have their pros and cons.

    Ok, just read through this whole thread... My opinion is the RCX lift is horrible!, I ran it long enough to know... All you guys runnin the RCX down on southern roads saying the ride quality isn't sacrificed I invite you up to Massachusetts to squire your rig about the pot hole ridden winter beaten roads and I think you'll change your mind, the RCX rides like a wheelbarrow. I'd take the body lift over the RCX any day. In fact I did, I got rid of the IFS all together
    No I didn't have aftermarket keys yes I "de-cranked" my keys to regain some ride, still horrible...
    I ran 33s, 37s and 39s on it and I don't like it.
    I now have a leaf sprung front end and I'm not scared my truck is gonna rattle apart from the cheap suspension lift... If you wanna keep the IFS, save yer pennies and get a camburg kit our somethin up to par with it
