    Installed the RC 3.5 front and 2.5 rear kit a couple days ago. Took me way longer than expected 12 hours baking in the souther California heat but I did it and proud of myself. Got my tires mounted and balance to my rims and also got the tpms sensors from old wheels installed on new setup. Ride feels good just a tad stiff and I love the look of the truck. I’m on pavement 99% of the time so I’m ok with this kit. For the front I removed the mud flap and the little flap. I have a very minimal rub on front plastic which I will push front caps a bit or mold plastic. I am very happy that the tires don’t touch the cab mount. I was ok with it possibly cutting it since I went with 35’s. Tires are Toyo Open Country AT3. Rims are Method 18’ NV 305. The RC lift kit is the one with the full coilovers and no front spacers.

    Hows the ride? Any complaints or critiques on the lift kit?

    Edit: great looking truck!

    8F7AAD4E-5A56-4CC0-86D6-5B1629FDA10C.jpg Honestly love it so far. First time with a lifted truck so I don’t know how spacers or expensive coilovers feel. But I love how it feels. Similar to stock. I don’t feel every bump on the road. Payment most of the time. Only off-roading I do is to go shoot my guns about twice a month

    Awesome. I purchased mine used and it came with a spacer kit. Rides fine but worried about longevity and thinking this is might be the route.
