BTW the rear RCX shocks suck. I highly recommend investing in some better ones ASAP. Night and day difference when you do!
Except.....who makes them that long? Other than getting the Fox ones from the BDS kit.

Rancho makes 3 series of shocks that will work with a 4-6" lift. Their struts for the front also work
Bilstein makes a lot with that comes in various lenghts. Their are some options out there.

However, I may wanna put 37s on it down the road and wondering how can I gain more lift with this kit without adding a body lift. Looked at forums for hours last night and stacking spacers and blocks is ruled out so could I stack a 1.5" Add-A-Leaf on the rear on top of the 6" blocks in this kit then add pro comp pro runner ss adjustable 0-2" shocks up front with the 6" strut spacer that comes with the RC kit? My shop says it may work but I cannot max out that 2" on the adjustable front shocks as my cv axles, balljoints, angles will be off and stressing my frontend causing issues rather quickly. I could just install the leafs and blocks in the rear then see how much adjustment I need for the shocks to level it out. Kinda trial & error thing but Id hate for my shop to have to pull the rear leafs off once they find those shocks need maxed out to level it out then pull them all completely and be a waste of time and money all together. Thoughts?

This is a 6" rc lift with 20x12 moto's (-44 offset) and 35x12.50r20 master craft courser's. I had to do miner trimming to keep it from rubbing
