Need shocks advise

To all iam new here and I have asked so if the Tundra folks questions and I have another what shock is better for a 6 in RC lift. N2. Or N3 shocks? I am going with new lifting struts up front. It is my daily ride and pull a boat on the weekends. Any help would be great full. Thanks you and sorry of all the questions

 

Hiya and welcome from SoCalif!!!

 

WTF??? Kidding, you already have this kit on? There is another company called RCD lifts, they have Bilsteins extended struts n rear shocks for a 6" kit, the ones from RC look like "ehh" not built well, @Les7311 has the RC ones on

 

No not yet. I am looking at best shocks Soon as I get that out of the way then I be good to go. I will look up RCD now! Thanks. I was thinking about the N2

 

@Jadoti as em on too

 

Check toytec Boss Kit

 

not a bad price 500 bucks. They make 4 inch also.

 

The kit is over my budget. Shocks price not to bad but the company that is going to install them can’t get them. I am probably having to go with the RC shocks. What is better N2 or N3? Thank you for the help

 

I spoke with RC a while back, their tech said the N3 is just updated version of the N2

 

Oh... so it will be the same then. I know I read some ways that N2.0 was good on the road and the N3 was more heavier for like towing. Just need to get the shocks ironed out soon. My appointment to drop my truck off is this Friday.

 

Speak with RC online chat

 

Good idea. Thank you sir.

 

We are an RC dealer... We (My detail shop) Coastal Reflections Auto Detailing. I can get you a good price on N3's, which are updated N2's. People that have the N2's like them. People that hear what a friend of a friends uncle used on his jeep 10 years ago, don't. I can also,most likely have them to you by friday, if you order by close of business tonight. PM me if you're interested.

 

We do a lot of rough country business. Never had an issue... If we don't have the part, we can get it in 2 days. This 6" with these UCAs are about to be installed on our shop rig soon. We are waiting on tires and leaf packs.

 

I believe I have the N3s on the RC kit I just got installed. Though, honestly, I've never felt the N2s so I have no idea which is better. I don't tow alot, and they feel pretty much like the stock ride for the most part (it rides like a truck). So yeah, I'd chat with RC too.

 

Well talked to RC the N3 are the up grade from the N2. He told me they will ride like factory. Jadoti just like you said. I aske about towing he said it would be better than stock. The N2 has issues with leaking and the N3 hasn’t had any issues far as he is aware. Jadoit you running 6Rc?

 

Thank you 1Bad Tundra but where iam getting install can get them. RC also told that I will not need UCA. Is there a reason you putting them? Is that something I need to look into? Again great information!!! Thank y’all

 

If ya wanna tag someone need to put the @ (no space) in front of the name, in case you didn't know @DM 2018 Tundra like so

 

And is for UCA's that really up to you, helps a bit more with alignment

 

Copy. Thanks

 

They were pretty new at the time, we wanted to check them out. We are cranking a coilover with our 6, in an attempt to get 7. The UCA will help with alignment (camber & caster setting) after trying to squeeze the extra inch out of these. We will not be adding the preload spacer in the coilover, but twisting them to compensate for it's absence.... Then a little more. As for the rear, we will be trying a 3" leaf pack with a 2" block, just to get the taper for the U joints. If it works, cool... If not, oh well. Its our shop truck We'll keep the basic lift together and sell out whatever parts are compatible. Yes, I know the RC 6" is just the 4.5" spaced up to 6", but as long as the angles look ok, we're gonna try a few things. Wish us luck! we'll share our findings.

 

The way the RC guy talked angles shouldn’t be bad with the 6 inch.

 

@jadoit how is ur angles and running a 6 inch RC

 

They aren't bad at all. In the past installs, we've seen more aggressive angles with 3/1 level kits.

 

Wow!! Really I would never thought that.

 

The diff drop and drop brackets keep thing pretty proportional

 

Ok that’s great to know. Thanks

 

When we tear our shop rig down, I'll get tons of pics with different setups

 

I am doing this exact thing right now I went with the n3 but do not have them on yet it may be a few weeks as it is cold as hell here now .

 

Looks killer with those coils
