6" lift vs keeping the leveling kit?

Dippinchick · Nov 19, 2016

I've been considering lifting my truck 6" with the RCX lift kit. It already has a 3.5" level in front and 2.5" in the back.

I would obviously have to take off the 3.5" and 2.5" pucks, but my question is if I did the 6" lift would it be 6" from stock? Does anyone have a 6" lift on theirs I can see

Wouldn't do an RCX since they do not use drop brackets for the rear control arms with their lifts.

you can see the bracket right in front of the rear tire on my 1500 that had a Mopar lift on. It was a 4" and had drop brackets. The white truck is a 6" and it does not have them. Just something to consider

A (x)" lift is from stock. So a 6" lift will be approximately 6" taller than stock.

6" BDS. Front is sagging a little because the driveway is slopped slightly. The winch and mount also isn't helping. Gotta get the bilsteins on. Unfortunately the GSD doesn't come with the lift. I do get special pricing though. Where did you find a 3.5" spacer for the front???

Most 6" lifts provide 5.5" of lift out of the box. With the addition of Bilstein 5100 adjustable front struts you can bring them up to 7.7" of lift max.

I would also recommend removing your 3.5" pucks anyway as that is far too much lift without doing a proper lift kit. The front end geometry will be way out of whack, CV shaft and A-arm angles will be too steep which gives issues with 4wd and makes it ride far rougher.
