Default Lift is on!

Couldn't be happier, given I literally had it on and was able to drive it home before being sent out of state to NOLA for hurricane work. I picked up the kit a year ago from a damaged freight sale for 400 bucks, complete in distressed packaging. Paid a local shop to install and ordered wheels and tires. Ride quality is good for the amount of bad I heard about a RC - I am concerned about the rear sag with a trailer but planning on a add a leaf or bag system. Any recommendations?

Great looking truck! Happy with my RC kit for the most part,

Is your rear lower than the front? When my RC6 was installed it was a little low, then when it was swapped to the RC4 it was still low. I've read others have had the same issue, about 1/4 low in the rear.

Forgot to add this but airbags should do the trick with the sag in towing

Have you thought about keeping your mouth shut? Op makes a thread to show us how happy he is with his new mods and instead of saying something nice like a decent person would you go and say that?

He put the below. I was just asking had he considered it. It isn't everyone's cup of tea perhaps he is unaware that he can easily remove them.

And my mouth was shut the entire time I typed.

Any recommendations?

He said he was concerned about the rear sag and asked for recommendations to fix it not recommendations on what you dont like on HIS truck

Great looking truck. Love the look.


​​​​​​It does look like the rear is a little lower though. Do you have something in the bed?

Not really sure what that has to do with the lift, or me asking about recommendations for rear suspension reinforcement. I ordered the truck that way brand new. Didn't want the senior citizen chrome package, and didn't like the bare white. Leaving them on was free with the special edition package as was having them not installed. So far- I love them- let's see your bank owned pickup!

Yeah in the photo my factory suspension, and wheels/ tires are in the bed. Planning on doing bags I think to give it a little height for loads and towing.
