Default RCX 6" and bilsteins

Did a little bit of playing around today. Truck could definitely benefit from some longer shocks in the rear, but overall I'm impressed with the bilsteins. The truck is very stable off road at speed and soaks up a fair amount of the bumps. Hoping to do 2.0 rears with deavers and 2.5 coils up front in the future. Overall I'm happy for the performance vs. price factor. Can't really complain about it thus far.

Looks good man. Really want some King Coils w/reservoir in the front and some reservoirs in the rear.

Love it man. I'm going kings as well because my rancho rs5000's aren't cutting the mustard.

Hey off the record. Can you email me some pictures of the mount and how you notched the light bar and the bumper pads. Looking at the same. Also how's the light output with the lift now? Thanks bud.

Looks great. Mount that light bar behind the grill and put a winch on that truck.

I'd like to throw a 30" behind the grille. As much as the winch sounds nice, I hope to never have the truck I'm such a position that I'd need to use it. Just can't see flogging a 50k+ truck in the mud. Some days I miss having a dedicated off-road rig.
