Yeah I looked and at almost a grand for a set of 2 coilovers, I'll just buy the pro comp pro runner adjustable ones and use my stock spring with the 6" spacer and AALs in the rear. They are $200 for a set from Stage 3 Motorsports and the leafs are only $136 a set.

I've decided to just go with the 6" RC lift kit for now. If I'm not satisfied with the install and look, then I may just purchase a 3" body lift down the road to add to it.

Another option would be to use the front struts from the Rancho 6" lift and do away with the front spacer towers, then you could add a small leveling kit on top of that if needed. I'm currently running the RCX 4" lift and recently replaced my front struts towers with the struts for Rancho's 4" lift and couldn't believe how much better my truck rides now!
The part # you would need for Rancho's front struts would be RS7833. One for each side about $135 each

I have the RC lift...Rough Country 6" lift which uses stock struts and the 6" spacer from the kit. Date for install isnt til the 12th but I keep looking at pics online of setups and the more I do, the less I like the 6" and want higher and bigger tires than 35s. Lol. I just need to stop, let the install happen and go from there. Hell, I may just fall in love with it with just the 6" lift on 35s. Hoping the 20x12 moto metal wheels with -44 offset dont rub.

I hated the tower spacers on mine so when my front right shock blew the seal it gave me the perfect time for the upgrade!
BTW the rear RCX shocks suck. I highly recommend investing in some better ones ASAP. Night and day difference when you do!

I also second the rear shock upgrade. The fox 2.0's are much better. Upgrading the rear leaf back was probably the biggest ride quality improvement I've done.
Keep in mind you may want to be thinking of gears of you're going 35"+ tires, especially if you tow.
