it's only a .5" spacer, so it's a .25" thick. this is only as a precaution in case the tires won't fit up front. talked to a guy who has done some really nice trucks out in alabama and this is what he recommended. I didn't go with the 6.5" lift because it's too tall for my taste, and more importantly my lifestyle. I need to be under a certain to height to get into work and into my garage. That being said, if i need to, i can just get the upper strut spacer and rear block to make my lift a 6.5" from zone. so it's cool.

Right on man. Make sure to post pics!

Bobbylowe,

I think the 5 inch lift is going to make those tires look small.

I have the 5 inch rcx. I think my tires look a little small and they are 34 inches. I am in the same boat as you. These tires cost me 1300 and they only have 10k on them.

Can anyone tell me what lift this truck might have. I have looked and looked for where I found this picture and can't seem to find it again. I'd like to do the same on mine.post-153621-0-85018400-1455566027_thumb.jpeg

It looks great, but I personally think it needs more negative offset. I know many people dislike spacers, but I think some 1-2" spacers would do it some good in the looks department

I hope you're wrong Insane - I opted for the 7.5" and I'm dropping it off in the morning. I decided if I have to bite the bullet, I'd rather have the lift I want and have to get new tires. The shop here said they use 305/55r20 tires with the 5" lift. I'm praying that it won't look silly, but I don't want to have to do a bodylift to fit 35's when it's time to upgrade to the next size.

 

I'll definitely post some after pictures.

You're likely right. I'd rather she'll out the $$ for tires than have to get more lift when the time comes.

 

This time tomorrow I'll post after pictures.

I agree....

That video is what sold me on my lift.... I had been pondering for awhile and then saw that and ordered it the same weekend.

As promised. 7.5" RCX lift with Falken Wild Peak A/T 305/55r20. What I didn't anticipate was the front wheels sticking out further than the rear after the lift. I'm definitely going to have to get spacers to even it out. They're definitely too small, but will suffice temporarily.

Wohooo 36" tires!!!!! Haha

 

Yes most lifts will widen the front track and if you are OCD like me you will need to get spacers to even out the back
