    Here is why my 6 inch RC works....

    First I replaced the front RC spacer with new shocks. Truck felt a little better over some of marylands rough and poorly paved roads. Spacers felt like I slammed every hole in the road.

    Then I changed out the UCA to SPC Adjustable UCA. The truck rides close to factory.

    The SPC allows the front shocks to fully work on its own by allowing more UCA travel, and no restrictions for the shocks.

    The factory UCA is positioned and can only flex so far. The SPC can rotate as far up or down. Granted this may cause more shock wear.....IDK.

    Watch the SPC video.

    Over time it all adds up, but if you spend, the results will satisfy you.

    With spacers, ride quality was a 5
    With SPC adj UCA, feels more like a 8.5

    Knock on wood, no repairs to date. And am not a SPC agent.
    I have DIY on my install.

    I don't work for SPC or RC nor gain any endorsement. This is my first truck with my fingerprints all over it

    I hope you can see from the thumbnail. This is basically my setup
    The 6inch RC
    The SPC link. Also watch the video
    Truck recently
    The adj SPC UCA and shocks without RC shocks
    Underneath with cut crossmember

    Watch at 3:14 how the shocks travels easier in the adj SPC.
