Everyone with a 6 inch lift!

lone12star · Jun 1, 2014

Alright well while I got my car in the body shop and putting money away, I am realizing I can afford a lift finally, well at the end of the year. What 6 inch kit did y'all go with and why? I'm looking at RCX, zone, or superlift. Pictures would be nice as well.

Rough country

How is the rough country? I've read about some people having issues with the kit

I have always used Zone/BDS. I think that their kits have a higher quality, such as new rear coil springs as opposed to blocks, powder coated knuckles, etc.

I have a Zone 4" with bilsteins set at 0.7". My last truck had a Zone 6" and had 5" of measurable lift, but I did not install the optional preload spacers as the truck would've had a Cali-lean with only a 3" lift in the rear.

I've had no issue with rough country as I do not offroad in a pick up truck. If you're going to offroad, buy pro comp, hands down

Shawn226... where is your build thread?... wanna see more of your truck

6" Rough country. Rear shocks are a bit stiff for my liking, but other than that, no problems

You just make a thread in the members section with all the mods you've done to your rig. From your stock pics to your lift. I'm waiting to do mine after I lift my truck.

I don't see many lifted Express's so its nice to see em.

Here are some of the previous 4th gens I've had lifted

2009 1500 6" ProComp with 2" preload spacers. No issues over 80,000km aside from wear and tear

2011 1500 6" RCX no issues over 50,000km

2013 1500 6" RCX popped the upper ball joints with 2.1" Bilsteins and 38s. Also was sent front diff brackets that created extreme pinion angle

MoparMorris, same to you buddy. You gotta post more pics of your Express. I like that you kept stock wheels on your lift.

Ram14Stud · Jun 1, 2014

Warmachine...? you get a new rig every few weeks? lol

Haha seems like it. Those are only the 1500s. I've got a couple 2500s mixed in there too

'13 2500

'11 2500

How don't you lose money on them when you trade them in or sell?

Luckily I'm in a financial position that it doesn't concern me to lose a bit. I've purchased 10 trucks, Jeeps and an SRT from my dealership since '08 and I'm going to be getting one of the Challenger Hellcats. My dealer makes sure my trade in value is where I expect it to be

Nice! I'm wanting to get rid of mine for a Cummins.

I highly recommend it. After having my current truck, which is my first Cummins, I could never go back to a gas truck. Tons of power even stock on 37s, and it just drives better in general on big tires
