Well here she sits. 9" lift total (6" rcd + 3" PA body) sitting on 17x10 welds wrapped in 37x12.5R17 Goodyear MTRs.

The ride is amazing and the shop that installed the kit did an excellent job. Only problem occured when I was told to not get it aligned right away. I was told to wait 300-500 miles for 'the kit to settle'. Problem was the tires had so much toe-in that during the 300 miles I crowned the new tires. But after the alignment we just rotated them to the back where they will even out soon. So my advice is to get it aligned asap. Especially with the new RCD kits, as they don't need to 'settle'.

Very happy with the outcome of the project and how the ride wasn't sacrificed much. Definately need to regear cuz the 3.73s aren't cutting it. At 65 mph my rpms sits about 1500 . So gonna regear to 4.56s next week.

Also I had some bodywork done recently cuz of a 'keying' incident by my suspected X or her minions so I got some custom decals from the decalking.com site. I really like the patriotic look of the decals. Hehe btw the centercaps are due in sometime this week. Rims look kinda weak without em so I am counting the seconds.

Here is a link to some more pics of my rig and my bro's rig. Enjoy. Truck Pics

Thanks for all the advice over the last several weeks!

I gots to say first hand (bigTrucks bro) that for anyone out there wondering what to get, I was very impressed with the quality of the RCD suspension lift, very impressed. It did not seem over engineered and 'extreme to the MAX'. To the contrary, it seemed well engineered, heavy duty, well thought out with a great finish. It rode well and handled as well as stock. I have owned a number of lifted trucks, and it is amazing the evolution of both trucks and the lift kits over the years, even compared to my 94 (red Z71 in photos trucks). I look at the Procomp kit I have vs. his RCD lift, and it is night and day.

I may be biased, but that is one awesome truck...
