Default 4" or 6"?? Need help!

I'm looking into the rough country suspension lift. I know I have to take my leveling kit off. Will it still be a true 4 or 6 inches or at least close to it? Anyone have 4" lifts, if so please post pictures! Thanks

I have the RCX 6". It gives you 6" of lift, but it's only a 5" drop braket. You can add to the front for another 1.5" if you want to go a little bigger. Very pleased with the lift. Good price, fit good, well built parts. Has held up nice

You have any pictures you can post of your truck? And RCX is the rough country lift kit right? I see RCX cut out in the crossmember on the website of the lift I'm looking at. I'm also curious to how I would add an 1.5" to it? Thanks!

Yes rcx is rough country. To add 1.5 inches you need to get some bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks then adjust them to whatever setting you desire. (no more than the 1.5 inch setting with the rcx kit)

Yes, RCX is rough country. The xmember does have the RCX logo cut in it. I added the Bilsteins to the front of mine for an extra 1.5" of lift. That's as high as you can stretch the kit though. Lmk if I can help with anything else. Here's a pic-

Nice *** truck man, I have a 2.5" leveling kit on mine now with 275/65/20s. Equals out to like 34.5" tire diameter. These tires big enough with 6 inches? Or should I invest in true 35" tires?

I would go with a slightly taller and much wider tire. I don't like the wheels sticking a foot out from the truck but you need wider tires and wheels with a little offset or spacers.

If you do a 6", I would go with a 35/12.50/20.
