I have been seeing a good bit of similar posts about different lift kits that are supposed to be 6" but not a full drop. I have called a few companies to get measurements of the crossmember drop from eye to eye:

Rough country said 5.25 drop and spacer gives the full 6"
Skyjacker said 4 3/4 drop
I'm looking to find a kit that will give me the closest to a full 6" and keep the factory geometry. If you have a kit not listed could you post what kit you have and give a crossmember drop measurement?

Anyone here that can chime in with any other kit measurements?

BDS does.. 6" true. Zone as well, which is made by the same company.

I have the Zone kit and the crossmember drop is about 4.5". You might want to look into the McGaughy kit.

the 04-08 lift from RXC was 4 5/8's drop eye to eye... possible they changed it but i've personally measured it.... they also use the same drop bracket for their 4" and 6" lifts for those years too.

I remember measuring mine but it was a long time ago on a 2012 but I think it was 5.25 and that's what rough country confirmed also

maybe it's the generation change?

I think the winner is the mcgaughy kit. I just called them and the tech just said the crossmember drop is a full 6.5" with factory specs and can easily run a 2" lift strut and get 8.5" kit later on.
