Sweet! So you ended up buying 1clean42's RCD lift? Can't wait to see it all finished up. I'm curious to see how close to level you get it with 3" blocks, though. I'm running 6" blocks with my RCD kit.

You sure those arent 5" blocks? They look exactly the same as the blocks that came with my fabtech. Not trying to go against you, just curious since I figured the lift kits would be about the same level.

You're probably right - they most likely are 5" blocks or what ever came with my 6" RCD kit. I was more surprised that Jake's RCD lift came with 2" or 3" blocks?

LOL I did the same thing when I installed my lift. I put the front in and realized I couldn't get the back high enough to install the blocks. I had to drive to my cousins shop to use the lift. Lets just say I got some awkward looks.

well it's the 6" rcd lift and it's got new drop down crossmembers new spindles and new coils along with new shocks and some lateral compression struts.

haha yea it's weird to drive like that. My rear view mirror faces down to the ground. Sucks having to wait for the new block to come in but it's going in tomorrow at 2 to get it put on so I should be at level very soon

haha mine looked just like that. i decided to help the spring get all settled in and do a lil bit of easy off roading. well at the end my hitch was covered in dirt and dust cuz it was hanging so low. and i got brights flashed at me all the time! and my headlights werent pointed to the ground they were in the air. but once I got my 4in block...it leveled out and is amazing. lots and lots of ground clearance. still need to go out on some trails.

Jake, let me know if you go anywhere, Ill come join ya. we can have some 2wd fun haha. oh do you have front tow hooks?
