Guys I'm new to this forum and wanted some opinions from the experts...why does people bash the 3.5" RXC lift? I've talked to some people that say they haven't had any issues with it then I've talked to some who say it's the worst thing. I agree a drop lift would be better but thev3"-3.5" is the perfect height for me since I'm wanting to run 35's and keep the stock wheels. I haven't seen many pics of a 4" with stockers to compare the 3.5" with. Any help or advice is appreciated.

I spent a lot of time looking through 100s of pages on here, and went back and forth between which lift I wanted to pull the trigger on. I thought I had finally settled on the 4" Readylift but then after continuously reading negative comments on it and all extended leveling kit style lifts I pulled the trigger on the 4" Zone Off-Road suspension lift and I am so happy I did! It drops all angles to nearly stock and I have had no issues so far. Great quality parts and sweet ride! Little more pricey than Rough Country or Readylift, but if you're going to drop 40K+ on a truck a few hundred extra dollars for a quality lift is nothing. Also I am running 35x12.5"on 20" wheels with +18 offset (Nearly stock offset) and I had to do a bit of trimming up front. Just some things to think about when making your decision.

Thanks for the info Sierra...I actually found a guy on here last nights that's running a 4" BDS with 35's on stickers and man that thing is sweet...I also believe the 4" is the way to go. Im with you, spending a few hundred dollars more on something that's gonna ride better and not disassembly the truck going down the road is worth it since we are spending 50k on these trucks.

Is there any way you could send me your fender measurements since your running what I wanna run? Gotta make sure it doesn't get to high for the wife.

One other thing, what kind of gas mileage are you getting running those 35's? Are you tuned?

So who has the best 4 or 4/12" lift available that doesn't cause pre-mature wear on parts???

These are the better readylift kits. http://www.readylift.com/products/chevy/chevy-silverado-1500/4wd-complete-lift-systems.html

Better then the 4" SST kits they offer.

Thanks for the info. This is almost the exact setup I'm probably going to use. I wonder if 295/60/20's would work without to much trouble.

most popular size with rc2.5 is 20x9 with 0 offset or +1 and 295 55 20. Local 4wd shop here does that set up all day and trucks look good with that set up

Who needs a garage when you have that beast in the driveway. Looks awesome! It really turned out good.

Yup, it's a 2500. Zone 5". Now has CST 10" LIFT. No longer fits in the garage...

Does anyone have pictures of the rc 3.5 lift with stock wheels/tires?

I am saving my stock wheels and tires to use in the winter and was wondering how bad it will look with the 3.5 lift and stock tires

As far as size wise, I have a BDS 4 inch lift and 32 inch duratracs which are very close to stock diameter. I absolutely hate rubbing so that is why I picked this size. I would like to go bigger but I actually go offroad and don't want rubbing when turning in rough areas. Here is a picture so you can compare size. Rims aren't stock though.

You can run 35" tires on the 4" BDS lift without any issues as long as you have the correct offset.
