6" to 8"

I got 04 screw....its on a 6" RCX with 35" Nittos. I want to do bilsteins for another 2 inches. I know it can be done, so i'm just wondering if anyone knows the part number for the exact strut i'd need?

I wasn't able to run my rc 6" with a 2" level, the upper control arm hit the spring, i spent hours trying to figure out why i couldn't run this setup when i seen others do it just fine (search for my old post) i figured out with the rough country kit the lower control arm brackets only drop down 5" (basically your losing an inch) but they use a giant 6" inch spacer to achieve the full 6" of lift, so to make a long story short the most you can run is a 1" level kit on top. bilstein does make adjustable front struts use can use but im fairly certain u will only be able to run them at the 1"setting. hope this helps.

Does the Bilstein adjusted up to 2" on top of a 6" bad or hard on the angles and joints? I was advised not to put leveling kit on my 6" lift by several people and a body lift is my last resort.

did you get the 0-2" adjustables and keep the 6" spacer? or did you get the 4-6" bilsteins? and only put a 1" leveling kit on top of that and loose the 6" spacer all together?

top gun customz, i have room to clear 37s but alot of that has to deal with wheel backspacing.. slight trimming (hardly noticeable) to front valance just to make sure nothing rubs at full lock or over bumps
