Fox 2.0 and RC 3.5

[geswek]

I couldn’t find a post but correct me if I’m wrong.

 

Getting an RC 3.5 lift will put front end back in sync where wheel bearings won’t destroy themselves quicker?

 

I’m contemplating throwing RC 3.5 on and dropping my fox back down to stock to spare my bearings.

It’s not the wheel bearings your wearing out faster it’s ball joints, tie rods and cv axles. The RC kit improves the ballpoint and cv angles slightly but is not friendly to tie rods. Nothing short of a proper lift is.

What’s a proper lift? Are we talking about 5” plus where everything can be moved around properly?

Yes, ball joints is what I meant.

I’m trying to keep truck under 7 feet tall but not go through ball joints every 20k Miles.

A lift kit that incorporates either new knuckles or brackets and crossmember to correct ball joint angles, a differential drop, sway bar relocation, etc. Most of these kits range from 4-7”+.

4” really isn’t that much more than a leveled truck.

I have a 6” BDS lift and 35” tires on my truck, also a black horse roll bar that sticks above the cab of the truck and I can fit in the local touch less car wash that has a clearance if 7’1”. I haven’t actually measured my truck, so I’m not sure how tall it actually is, but I’ve been through it multiple times and never hit the clearance sign or heard any scraping during the wash process.

 

I think a 4” BDS lift, or similar, would be a perfect fit. You will get improved cv angles and a nicer quality lift than RC.

It’s not the height of the lift that’s the issue, it’s the type. That 3.5” kit is a glorified leveling kit NOT an actual lift, that’s where the problem is
