    Thanks ! The only issue I'm having is the powder coat I think is holding up the coil from sitting all the way to the perch but I have been told they will when the trucks weight gets on them .

    Powder coat .But I have to touch them up also because the spring compressor scratches them up a little.

    I just wanted to do some final checking on shocks, angles, or nay issues with this kit before I pulled the trigger on the RC 6 inch kit.

    O cool can't eait to see it .I have had mine for 2 yrs or seems to be doing good .I'm goimg to n3 struts to try to get the ride back as close to factory as I can .If you find that your truck sits to low when hooked to your boat you can do this or air ride to help. I like my truck level when pulling. Amd a pic of my truck loaded down .

    Thanks! Yea my truck goes in the back yard to hook to my boat! No off roading here. The angles don’t look that bad. How long have you had that lift and miles? The shop doing mine does all the Toyota dealer ships in the area.

    2 yrs now put about 30k miles on it since . honest my only complaint is a little stiff but I'm sure the lifted struts will fix that .Pre load spacers always make a truck ride rough in the front .Not a fan of lifts with any blocks.

    If i were you, i would purchase the 6” RCD lift kit without their front coilovers. Then go with icon vehicle dynamics extended lengh set. They are specifically made for the RCD 6” lift kit.for your truck. That’s what i did,i purchased the kit with rear Bilstein only, then purchased the icons. There are places online that will sell you the kit without front coilovers. It is a way better shock and you will be happy with them

    Here's pics of my left and right, I'm fine with the ride. To me it doesn't feel much different than stock. I have a small vibration at very low speeds that I'm working out but other than that I'm absolutely happy with my RC lift. :)
