RC 3.5 Knuckle Lift Kit with front shocks

[jgraves13]

Do a diff drop and it'll save your CVs a little bit. Ball joints don't look terrible I think they'll be fine for awhile depending on how you drive

Yea it did , im going to monitor the cv and see how much it holds

3.5 kit has diff drop spacers. I have heard this newer knuckle 3.5 is a good kit, unlike the control arm version.

So you went with a RC 5 inch lift after you were running into problems with the 3.5? The truck looks sexy as F**K by the way

I did, its a brand new 5 inch this year from RC, actually widens the front track about 2 inches per side also have to get  a longer front drive shaft which  corrects the cv angles. everything is as it should be now and it rides like stock. Very happy with it and my 295/70r18 tires dont rin anymore lol, anywhere! they measure a 34.5x 12 and look killer! perfect size for the lift

the 3.5" does a diff drop, doesn't help in the slightest

How does a longer driveshaft correct for cv angles?

Your cv angles should be close to stock with the 5" knuckle lift.

From what I understand they've made it so cv boots dont rub the LCA and looks like top balljoint mount for the UCA is angled so balljoints probably last longer.  However the new knuckle doesnt have stock angles (or close to) for UCA or tie rods.  Makes me wonder why they wouldn't try to make even close to stock angles when they go to the trouble of designing new knuckles.  I guess it's one of their budget lifts.

That's a cool kit, and 1 of the ones that I considered when looking.  I ended up getting the Superlift 3.5" kit that comes with new new control arms, and doesn't require you to cut the rear crossmember.  Just installed it this weekend, along with a set of Bilstein 5100 shocks set at the factory setting.
