I love the 17”. I think my 18” are even too big.

Did the BDS 6" with Fox shocks. 22x12 Sprockets on 33" Toyo MT's. Rides like stock, no rub no trimming.

Crappy pic, but this was right after it pulled out of the garage last night. 4.5 zone with fox in the rear, 35x12.50r20 nitto ridge grapplers on stock elevation rims. Ride seems better then stock, i

Can't decide on fabtech 4" basic system with the replacement cross members or the 5" rough country knuckle kit. Both come with replacement cross members and knuckles, I know the fabtech keeps front track the same. I don't know  how noticeable the 1" difference will be. Fabtech told me this 4" kit was closer to 4.5 but haven't read that anywhere on here. Also rough country has a lifetime warranty.

I had an RC 6” for 11,000 miles.

It was the worst decision of my life.

You’ll like the Fabtech.

Yeah yours should be very similar to mine with the offset that you have. I seem to getting around 14-15 mpg now with the lift, with lots of stop-and-go and hills where I live. I felt like it was a little better before the lift (maybe 1-2 mpg), but it may just be in my head. Either way, it was well worth it, in my opinion. 

Finally got it done!  thanks for the advice bud

I’ve heard mostly good things about fabtech and a lot of bad things about RC. If I were going to modify suspension dramatically, especially geometry, I would not get the cheapest kit out there. No offense to you Folks running RC. If it works for you,  shake and bake!

Anyone running the fabtech basic 4 inch kit that comes with replacement cross members and knuckles ? I

spoke to fabtech and they told me that this one runs closer to 4.5 and the budget kit with new upper control arms ran closer to 3.5??

Yeah, removing the lower valance (air dam) is a no brainer.  I heard that guys lost some MPG.  While that seemed possible in theory (aerodynamics), it did not turn out to be the case.  The simplest way to improve aesthetics of these trucks and gives you better approach angle ground clearance.

5” and 6” lift guys, what is the size of your rear block? I think only RC offers a 5”, so curious to what size the block is?

I know zones 6.5 is a 5” block, but nobody else seems to have info on their rear block sizes. I’ll be running around 5-5.5” lift up front, so I’m trying to find the perfect rear block that sets me a touch higher in rear since I tow a big boat.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
